An 1850s villa in South Hampstead, London, with an unusually rich cultural history, has come to market for the first time in more than 20 years. The Victorian residence was the former London home of singer-songwriter and record producer Lynsey de Paul, who bought the property in 1995. Now, it's listed for £4.85 million (approximately $6.548 million).
For Lynsey, the house offered privacy. Hidden behind high brick walls, the Italianate villa became a retreat from the attention that surrounded her career and her high-profile relationships with figures including Sean Connery, Bernie Taupin, and Ringo Starr. It was also a creative space where she wrote music and entertained friends such as Joe Elliott, Suzi Quatro, and Spike Milligan, who famously nicknamed her ‘Looney de Small’.
