Our capital city has never been particularly thin on the ground when it comes to its world-renowned residents. And – you guessed it, folks – I come bearing yet another picture perfect property that was once the London home of some extremely famous faces. The iconic inhabitants in question, I hear you ask? Madonna and Guy Ritchie, of course.
The property can be found on Queen’s Gate Mews over in swanky South Kensington. Are we surprised? Not really. Having originally been built back in the 1860s as a coach house, the rather adorable abode was snapped up by legendary film director, Guy Ritchie, in the early nineties. Madonna moved in when her and Ritchie got together in the late nineties – and it’s the home in which the former couple welcomed their first child into the world.
Whilst the pair haven’t lived there since they relocated to a rather hefty Grade II listed estate in Wiltshire in the early noughties, the house still boasts the stainless steel kitchen that was supposedly designed by Ritchie himself. The 1450-square-foot pad is set across two floors, boasting an open-plan living area, the aforementioned kitchen, a library area, a dining area, two bedrooms, and a bathroom complete with an exposed brick archway and a mosaic marble floor. The property also features an adorable Juliet balcony and some big old arched windows that allow in abundance of natural light.
The gorgeous gaff has also had its fair share of screen time, having featured as the home of Daniel Craig’s character in Layer Cake. It’s now in search of a new tenant, and is available to rent via the property-pros over at Dexters for a relatively eye-watering £8,992 per calendar month. So, if a star-studded home in South Kensington is at the very top of your wish-list, this might just be the perfect property for you. I mean, who wouldn’t want to live in the former home of the Queen of Pop?
Elinor Ward at Dexters South Kensington and Knightsbridge said: “Properties with this kind of history simply don’t come up often. The house was lived in by Madonna and Guy Ritchie, and used as Daniel Craig’s home in the film Layer Cake. It is full of character, beautifully finished, and perfectly placed for anyone wanting to be in the heart of South Kensington.”
