A London home that's been described as "lovely" has hit the property market; it also happens to be neighbours with the Embassy of North Korea.

The family home in Ealing is a detached 1920s property with four bedrooms, a large garden and a garage, and is on sale for £1.6 million.

The property next door first became the Embassy of North Korea in 2003 when it was bought for £1.3 million.

Despite being an Embassy, the North Korean-owned property looks like any other house on the street, apart from the flagpole at the front of the house.

Now, the neighbours are hoping to sell up and move away from the Embassy of North Korea.

The 1920s property is arranged over two floors and is described as offering "elegant accommodation" by estate agents Grimshaw & Co.

The entrance hall features a fireplace and leads to two reception rooms, one of which has double doors opening onto the rear garden.

A kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom, and utility room complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The listing highlights the "potential for a large ground-floor extension and loft conversion," subject to the usual regulations.
