The former marital home of Wayne Couzens, the ex-Metropolitan Police officer convicted of the horrific murder of Sarah Everard, has been listed for sale at £280,000. The property, located in Deal, Kent, includes a hot tub and has drawn significant attention due to its notorious past.
Couzens, who used his police credentials to abduct, rape, and murder Everard in March 2021, lived in the three-bedroom semi-detached house with his wife before his arrest. The home, now under the ownership of his estranged wife, is being sold as part of the divorce settlement.
Property Features and Market Reaction
The house boasts modern interiors, a spacious garden, and the aforementioned hot tub—a feature that has raised eyebrows given the property's dark association. Estate agents have noted a mix of curiosity and reluctance among potential buyers, with some expressing discomfort over its connection to such a high-profile crime.
Community Sentiment
Local residents in Deal have shared mixed feelings about the sale. While some hope the property will find new owners who can reclaim its sense of normalcy, others worry it may attract unwanted attention or become a macabre landmark.
The sale comes as Couzens serves a whole-life sentence for his crimes, with the case having sparked nationwide outrage and calls for police reform.
