Becky Fatemi, managing director of estate agents Rokstone said: 'This exceptional penthouse has been designed for fashion Icon, Daphne Guinness, meaning that the buyer of this apartment will not only own a home in a desirable part of London but also live in exceptionally beautiful surroundings, both internally and externally.

'Covent Garden is a vibrant place to live, with an array of high quality shops and restaurants a short stroll away. The current owners are from Asia, a nationality which is becoming increasingly interested in property in WC2 for both investment and a place to live, due to its proximity to cultural delights such as the Opera House and to be close to the river.

'We have also received a surge of enquiries from Middle Easterners looking to move into the area. The property also comes with a separate parking space by negotiation, further adding to its appeal.' 

The exterior façade is completed with red brick and Portland stone and dates back to 1877 and was designed by Henry Clutton. The building was originally occupied by a linen draper by the name of Boyd Burnet and Company. 

King Street has been home to a range of notable residents over the centuries. The adjoining building, no 43 King Street is the former home of Admiral Edward Russell, grandson of the fourth Earl of Bedford. 

Edward Russell played an important leading part in bringing William of Orange to England and was treasurer of the Navy and fleet in the French war in 1689-97.
