RICHARD EDEN: Rishi Sunak eyes up Sir Winston Churchill's £19.5million pad... where war leader moved after he lost 1945 general election
I hear that Sunak is considering buying a 19th-century town house where Churchill lived after he lost the 1945 general election to Labour. The seven-bedroom home is on the market for £19.5million.
He didn't quite have the same impact as Sir Winston Churchill while living at 10 Downing Street, but that has apparently not deterred Rishi Sunak from moving into another London property formerly occupied by his illustrious Conservative predecessor. It would represent a big step up the property ladder for Sunak and his wife, Akshata, the daughter of an Indian billionaire, as they currently own a much smaller home in a mews street in Kensington. The Marquess, whose ancestral seat is Longleat House in Wiltshire, bought Churchill's home from a multi-millionaire divorcee whose former husband's Nazi-supporting grandfather was convicted at the Nuremberg trials.
