Boris Johnson paid £3.8million in cash for his grand new manor house, we can reveal.
The ex-PM personally negotiated £200,000 off the asking price for the nine-bed country pile – a new home for him, wife Carrie and their two young children.
It is a remarkable turnaround in fortunes for Mr Johnson, who is said to have complained that as PM and an MP he couldn’t get by on a combined salary of £164,080.
