This house could be a rare opportunity to become neighbours with Sir Paul McCartney – for a staggering £16.95 million. The large property is in the on-demand road Cavendish Avenue in the heart of leafy St Johns Wood, north London – where houses rarely come up for sale.
Back in 1965 at the height of Beatlemania, Sir Paul McCartney bought a three-storey Regency town house in the area for the sum of £40,000 which remains his London base.
Like Sir Paul’s house, this Grade II listed property is close to the world famous Abbey Road Studios and the zebra crossing made famous on The Beatles’ Abbey Road album cover.
The 5,230 sq ft house is on the market with Arlington Residential and boasts seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a south west facing garden with a pool. There is also a library, conservatory, gym and staff bedroom, plus space to park seven cars.
The Cavendish Avenue villa now on the market for £16.95 million dates back to 1845 and is also set behind a large gated driveway.
Marc Schneiderman, Director at Arlington Residential said homes on the street rarely come on the market.
He added: “Cavendish Avenue is widely regarded as the finest residential road in St John’s Wood and this substantial property is one of only nine detached villas on the west side of the street.
“These houses rarely become available for sale as they tend to be generational homes. It was over three years ago when one of these very special villas sold achieving £17m in almost derelict condition.
“This property was built in circa 1845 and is is set back behind a large, gated driveway. The house enjoys lots of natural light from its tall windows and east/west aspect.
“Inside, there is extensive period detailing throughout including ornate cornicing in the drawing room and a particularly elegant and wide staircase with wrought iron balustrading.
“The south west facing garden backs onto neighbouring gardens on three sides and features an attractive outdoor pool. There is ample private parking for up to seven vehicles.”
Further details can be found on the listing.
