A two-bedroom house in South Kensington that was once home to Madonna and Guy Ritchie and also appeared in the Daniel Craig film Layer Cake is available to rent for £9,000 a month. Queen's Gate Mews, in South Kensington, was home to the power couple in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Property features
The 1,540 square foot home was built in the 1860s by William Jackson. It is over two storeys, with an 'eclectic, warm-toned open plan space' interior. Queen's Gate Mews survived a bomb strike in World War 2 and now forms part of the Queen's Gate Conservation Area.
Film buffs might recognise the cobbled courtyard from a number of films, including Nicolas Roeg and Donald Cammell's Performance (1970), The Bank Job (2008) starring Jason Statham, and Layer Cake (2004) directed by Ritchie's friend Matthew Vaughn.
Interior details
It is understood that Ritchie himself designed the kitchen inside the home, which also features a library area, a dining area for six, and a dedicated office space. The main bathroom retains an exposed brick archway, a mosaic marble floor and a freestanding bath. The light-filled principal bedroom suite offers white walls, light wooden flooring, and a navy-blue velvet headboard and divan.
Elinor Ward, director at Dexters South Kensington & Knightsbridge, said: "Properties with this kind of history simply don't come up often. The house was lived in by Madonna and Guy Ritchie, and used as Daniel Craig’s home in the film Layer Cake. It is full of character, beautifully finished, and perfectly placed for anyone wanting to be in the heart of South Kensington."
