Irish author, poet and playwright Oscar Wilde’s former Mayfair home which provided inspiration for The Importance of Being Earnest is for sale for £14 million with Beauchamp Estates.
The six-storey, stucco-fronted townhouse at 14 Half Moon Street was built around 1730. In the early 1880s, at the centre of Victorian bohemian London, the property was turned into a boarding house with “bachelors chambers” for young, ambitious male tenants to rent.
