From 1845 to 1881 the house was a residence for "ladies suffering from the milder forms of mental disease".[3] It was the residence of Guy Granet and his wife from February 1924.[4] In the late 1920s it was bought by Geoffrey Fry.[5][6] A Mrs Hillgarth was resident in 1945.[7] The historian John Ehrman was resident in the 1960s.[8] Oil trader Ely Calil was resident for many years at Sloane House and sold it to Anthony Bamford in 2004 for £45 million.[9][10] Bamford bought Sloane House with the adjoining Sloane Lodge and intended to join the two houses together to create a house of 24,000 sq ft.[10] It was put up for sale in 2009 for £79 million.[10] Bamford's plans were opposed by the Chelsea Society who found "every aspect of the application objectionable".[11] In 2010 it was bought by heiress Petra Ecclestone and her husband James Stunt for almost £60 million.[12] The couple spent two years renovating the house with Casa Forma to create a residence of 25,000 sq ft.[12] Following Ecclestone's renovations the house had 14 bedrooms and a substantial basement. The basement of the house has a gym, a spa, a salon, an indoor swimming pool, squash courts, a children's playroom and a screening room. The large hallway has a mirrored bar that "converts into a DJ station". In 2019 Ecclestone offered the house for sale for £150 million and "at least" £175 million in 2021.[13] Gangster Terry Adams of the Clerkenwell crime syndicate lived at Sloane House in 2017 when it was the residence of James Stunt, the estranged partner of Ecclestone.[14] Stunt was given two days to leave Sloane House at a court hearing in 2017 following his estrangement from Ecclestone.[12] The house was the subject of a feature in Architectural Digest in 2021.[13]
