www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/126717887#/?channel=RES_BUY I really love it. I think I would be scared though so you’d all have to move in with me!

17 million gets a lot of house elsewhere. Was looking at architectural digest on YouTube. Some stunning homes on there. Siena Miller's cottage or Liv Tyler's N.Y. brownstone.

Sam Smith used to live there? I had no idea he was so rich.

You beat me to it. My first thought too!

agree it’s beautiful and beautifully done. Absolutely gorgeous property.

He kept a man chained up and beat him with a pipe. Not really funny tbh.

Is that the kitchen they call the breakfast kitchen? I wonder what it’s like having those folding doors wouldn’t everything blow on whilst you were cooking?

Before I find my ticket did anyone win the big one last night? Realistically how much would a house like that cost to run? How long would the cleaner have to come for?

Where did he get the money! I though he was on his uppers with a career ruined with drugs and scandal. Obviously wrong

Boy George is an icon. He’s always been bigger than just music. His name alone allows him to make money at pretty much anything he does (travelling the world as a DJ being one).

What a beautiful house in a lovely location.

How can the 80’s be 40 years ago? 😫

CPL593H · 21/09/2022 21:54

Parts of it I like "as is" but some of the blander bits I'd have to re- neoGothic back up Grin

Overall it is stunning though, wonderful exterior.

That's an eye-opener in terms of his wealth! I thought those sorts of prices were a-list stuff

PaperTyger · 21/09/2022 22:04

Just saw Sienna Millers cottage.
Beautiful!
But also restrained?

Riverlee · 21/09/2022 22:25

Sam Smith didn’t own the main part, but owned an adjacent property which Boy George than purchased. Wonder why he’s selling it after forty years.

Seventeen million. Wow!

Surtsey · 21/09/2022 22:27

Some of the artwork is... er... interesting.😂

AreYouAFeminist · 21/09/2022 22:32

Wow. What a house.

Anyone see Pamela Anderson's house on Cribs years ago? Just beautiful. Slebs and their taste can surprise you sometimes.

I imagine that Boy George had a very high end interior designer. It's lovely. Just lovely.

The blurb says Kelly Hoppen. Queen of the dull, boring and grey.

Fenella123 · 21/09/2022 22:36

Just staging it must have taken an age, I bet behind the camera in every shot is a TV and a pile of random kipple!
Maybe BG just wants a bath he can climb into without a stepladder? Not as young as he used to be! Time for a main pad somewhere warm with a sunken bath you can just walk down into...

Sam Smith used to live there? I had no idea he was so rich.

I thought Boy George had lived there for decades?

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 21/09/2022 22:41

I used to pass it on my way to school in the 80s. There were often paparazzi hanging around outside, waiting for bad things to happen. It’s a fabulous house.

I think the gothic recording studio someone mentioned upthread is the one on Haverstock Hill, which is in a converted church.

OnTheBrinkOfChange · 21/09/2022 22:42

Marty Feldman used to live there

Normally I hate celebrities' houses but that is lovely. I could happily live there but I'd have to have a lodger, I'd be scared on my own!

That's until you realise the lodger is very strange…

HighlandPony · 21/09/2022 22:44

No. Coz I’m my mind I’m winning the lottery and buying Vaila

Isn’t Jon Moss suing him?

Isn't he always?

ThisIsNotAFlyingToy · 21/09/2022 22:48

Why is there a big picture of Madge Bishop on photo 11?

declutteringmymind · 21/09/2022 22:55

Did anyone else spot the chair in the guest bedroom with penis armrests/handles?

It's quite tasteful in the surface but some questionable 'art'
