It was apparently on the market back in February with a guide price of £15.75m. It's on Hamilton Terrace, between Maida Vale and St Johns Wood, and it's a wedding-cake-on-the-outside, modern-on-the-inside style place with five bedroom, screening room, nice garden. Go here for a floorplan. According to the Daily Mail, it's still for sale, but I don't know where they've got that information. I can't find a listing anywhere.

7 bedroom house for sale in Clifton Hill St Johns Wood London  NW8

It's been home to ex-Hollyoaks actress, toilet paper heiress, ex-Ryan Giggs love-interest and member of the Primrose Hill set Davinia Taylor, but now she's selling it in an act of divorce settlement liquidation. Interestingly, it also doubled as her friend Kate Moss's hideaway during her widely reported split with Pete Doherty. (Full rundown on that, here.) It's a white seven-bedroom semi-detached house in St John's Wood, and it even comes with a garage. In NW8! Guide price? £5.95m. Particulars here.

It was a party, apparently, to celebrated her daughter's engagement. The "Noise Patrol" apparently visited first to find "sound tests" taking place in the afternoon. They were back again at 10.45am, the next day, after more complaints from neighbours. Must have been one hell of a party. More here.

She lives opposite Lord's, and last year she won her indefinite nationwide Asbo for peering into neighbours' houses and threatening them with "damnation". She's in court, attempting to have the Asbo lifted. More importantly, there's apparently video footage knocking around of her chanting outside her neighbours' properties. Youtube! Youtube! Full story, here.

100 Clifton Hill - rebuilt by Regal, restyled by Kelly Hoppen, yours for £12.5m, unless, according to the Independent on Sunday, one of a number of potential buyers, from moguls to slebs, doesn't beat you to it.

Paul Eden, Regal's managing director, said: "There's no doubt about it, the bankers are coming back. We've had a lot of interest from City boys who don't seem to be short of money."

More Clifton Hill properties here.

She's back from Australia, she's £3m in her pocket, and a dad who's a partner at Behr and Butchoff in St Johns Wood. Dani's looking for a bargain, but her dad - sensibly - has started talking up local market.

Just before Christmas they experienced a sudden rise in registrations that has continued into January, fuelled by the recent drop in interest rates.

Love it. Family's family but property, that's business.

But Dani - who's smarter than the average Behr - doesn't give up that easily. Click here to read more as she looks around one of her father's properties, then brands it "pokey and dated".

Rumours of a Paris Hilton London property purchase have been circulating ever since the Rat and Mouse was just a Kitten and a Pup (sounds weird, doesn't it, but it's right). Back in May, she was apparently moving to London because of the men, their "cute little accents and their manners". Now, it's not just the blokes, she's extending her love to every one of us, because we're just, like, so real.

"London is my favourite city in the world. I love their accents, their attitude," the Daily Star quotes her as saying. "They are so real, they are not fake."

You're so right, Paris, and the realness and not fakeness starts right here, baby. She says she's looking in St John's Wood. Who knows, perhaps she'll fall in love with a well-mannered, cute-accented St John's Wood estate agent, like James here, buy a house from him, get married, and scatter a little stardust on this havoc-blasted London property market.

According to the Daily Mail (and everything that means) Kate Moss managed to alienate her new St Johns Wood neighbours even before "a fleet of pantechnicons arrived with her belongings, including a mattress, lampshades and an outdoor setting", by indulging in a certain amount of raucousness at a friend's pad, just down the road. The Mail goes on to chat with a number of Moss's new neighbours, and learns that angry local residents have already contacted their MP and the police. Blimey.

It's vanished, gone from Knight Frank's listings, with just this ghostly hint at what was, on Nestoria:

... which you can find here.

She owns a smallish landlocked house at the end of xxxxx xxxx in St John's Wood but rents a flat locally if she's having any work done in her house. The number of the house is xA so perhaps that's why it seems that it is an apartment.

I can tell you a couple of intriguing particulars about the house if that's what she's selling and if it's of any interest as I have been there a few times.

I don't blame her for moving on from there, it's easy for anyone to track down her address and she lives at the end of a t-road. Her only escape is through the front door and gate as the site is blocked in at all sides. I can't imagine why she'd bother with the hassle of selling it, she could just buy another house locally and leave her assistant there.

In brief... because I'm about to leave for meetings... it's Kate Moss - and who can blame her? She's apparently selling her flat and looking for somewhere, in St John's Wood, that's more private. A link to particulars, as always, welcome.

It's called The Collection - a residential conversion of Boundary Road, NW8's BritArt birthplace - and prices will be collectors only, ranging from £2.85m to £4.45m. They're saying that each of the homes will be named after YBA's launched by the Saatchi Gallery in the 1990s. The developers are Vanderbilt Properties and Oakmayne, the architects are PKS, interiors will be by Darling Associates and Knight Frank are the agents.

Thanks to a Rat and Mouse reader for pointing me in the direction of this piece - which suggests that 7, Cavendish Avenue, the St John's Wood home owned (but not occupied) by Paul McCartney ever since the mid-60s, is on the market for £4.15 million. So far - however - online particulars evade me. In the meantime, if there's anything else (and I mean anything) you want to know about Macca and NW8, go here.

Rat and Mouse readers - we love you! [November 2, 2006]
