The pictures come courtesy of a US magazine, but they've been reproduced by the Daily Mail. It's in Richmond (Whornes Place, to be precise) and it's a property with a lot of history. Parts date back to the 15th Century, although it was rebuilt in the 1920s. More recently, it's been popular with other Hollywood A-Listers (including Johnny Depp and Michael Douglas). Brad Pitt is currently filming in London. For a look inside, go here.

Jeez, that headline's so bad it's made even me feel a bit nauseous. Sorry. The story is... we've just had word that Craig House, that giant former care home in Ham, Richmond, has just been sold to George Wimpey, (not) the beefburger tycoon, for £4.4 million. Which doesn't sound like a whole lot of money to us at the Rat and Mouse, considering we're talking about 1.8 acres of land, planning permission for 34 apartments and five three-bedroom mews houses... 27,726 square feet of accommodation, a walk away from Richmond Park.

It's featured in the Independent... a four-storey, four-bedroom, Grade II-listed, 17th Century house in Ormond Road, Richmond, combining the old (original panelling) and the new (ceiling speakers throughout), cleverly. It's with Featherstone Leigh, at £1.675 million. Particulars here.
