Ms Andrews shared the property in the 1970s with her late husband, film director Blake Edwards, who made and the series.

The front door opens onto a grand entrance hall leading to the staircase and a seven-person passenger lift. Beyond the 14-seat dining room is a balconette and separate mews house to the rear, with its own rooftop terrace – ideal for an airborne nanny.

The master bedroom suite has its own private floor on the second level, lined with fitted wardrobes, a walk-in dressing room and master bathroom. On the two upper floors are four further bedroom suites, all with ensuite facilities.

Becky Fatemi, of estate agent Rokstone, said: “The elegant stuccoed houses are amongst the most exclusive and soughtafte­r addresses in prime central London.”

The property was built in 1835 by developer Joseph Cundy. CAMPAIGNER­S WILL be protesting outside Drax plc’s annual general meeting in York today.

The formerly coal-fired power station in Selby is reputedly the largest burner of wood for electricit­y in the world and has been criticised for using vast amounts stripped from clearcut wetland forests in the southern United States.

A simultaneo­us protest, organised by a coalition including Biofuelwat­ch and Coal Action Network, who want to see subsidies go to “genuinely lowcarbon” wind and solar power, will take place at the Port of Liverpool where the wood pellets arrive.

It comes as the power grid saw a new record of more than three days without coal, smashing the previous record just days after it was set. Experts say the challenge will be to wean the UK off all fossil fuels, including gas.
