The renovated London flat Winston Churchill once called home has hit the market for an eye-watering £2,250 ($AUD3,678) a week.
The stunning four-bedroom flat, which Churchill used as his London residence between 1930-1939, is located in Morpeth Terrace and looks out to Westminster Cathedral.
The stunning four-bedroom flat, which Churchill used as his London residence between 1930-1939, is located in Morpeth Terrace and looks out to Westminster Cathedral. It’s just a 15-minute walk to the Palace of Westminster where parliament sits.
Data from the London Assembly shows that the median monthly rental price in Westminster is £2,383 a month, with higher-end monthly four-bedroom London rentals priced at around £3,650 a month.
But not every luxury four-bedroom flat has a roof terrace and they don’t all offer views of Big Ben, the Palace of Westminster and Westminster Cathedral.
Located on the fifth floor of a red brick terrace, the apartment includes a master bedroom with an ensuite, two other bathrooms, three other bedrooms, several reception rooms, kitchen, dining room, study and a roof terrace. The high-spec apartment has plenty of living space and is “perfect for entertaining on a large scale”, according to the listing.
The 257sqm apartment was purchased by Churchill from Lloyd George and he lived in the property during the years leading up to WWII.
Churchill isn’t the only famous former resident, Joseph Stalin’s youngest child and only daughter Svetlana Alliluyeva is said to have briefly called it home, and Mother Teresa is thought to have dined at the apartment in the 1970s.
The home was purchased by American Bill Roedy when he worked as vice chairman of MTV over a decade ago. He and his wife have spent quite a bit in restoring and renovating the home including adding a fireplace and panels in the study, according to The Telegraph. The couple now rent the flat out as it’s too small to accommodate their family as they have four children.
