Celebrity property in Notting Hill

Ever wondered quite a swish celebrity pad in Notting Hill looks like? Well, here’s your chance. Model Elle Macpherson’s house is currently on the market, at an asking price of £7.5 million – got any spare change, dear readers? The poor supermodel has suffered a fate similar to many vendors in the Notting Hill area in recent times, and had to reduce the asking price of the house by a rather hefty £2 million since it was first put on the market last summer.

The luxurious 5,465 square foot (508 square metres) pad, spread over seven floors, has six bedrooms; seven bathrooms; a drawing room and a TV room; a study AND and office (I guess Elle must work extra hard to need both); a dining room AND a dining area (well, one does need lots of space to entertain), and a garden as well as a separate terrace. No evidence of a lift, though: perhaps that’s how Elle keeps so trim, running up and down the seven floors in her house.
