Dunross's impressive house in the series was provided courtesy of the then Colonial Secretary's (this would have been Sir David Robert Ford when filming was taking place) residence at #15 Barker Road. The house is still very much there and supposedly still used by the current Chief Secretary.
I guess being Chief Secretary has many perks, the house just being one of them. On the other hand you have to support whichever tosshole is secretly voted into the position of Chief Executive.
