We’ve never been particularly thin on the ground when it comes to the famous faces that reside within the confines of our capital city. But if we had to whittle it down to London’s most iconic inhabitants of all, I’m pretty sure Sir Paul McCartney would make the cut.
Having owned his home in St John’s Wood since 1965, the beloved Beatle’s ties to north London have certainly stood the test of time. And now, a stunning seven-bedroom mansion on his very road has just hit the property market. So, if you’re rather keen on the prospect of being able to pop round and ask Paul McCartney to borrow a cup of sugar, you might want to listen up.
The sought-after street in question comes in the form of Cavendish Avenue, a road that’s frequently hailed one of the finest in St John’s Wood. Situated mere moments away from the iconic Abbey Road Studios, it’s certainly not too tricky to see why Sir Paul McCartney snapped up one of the neighbouring pads just over 60 years ago – especially as it only set him back £40,000.
Admittedly, the new owners will have to fork out a tad more than McCartney did. The (rather gorgeous) gaff has been listed with the luxury property pros over at Arlington Residential – and is on the market for £10 million.
The Grade II listed property dates back to 1845 and spans 5,230 square-feet across four floors. It boasts a whopping seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, a library, a gym, a study, a conservatory, parking space for seven cars, and a swimming pool. Just the essentials, you know?
