Boris and Carrie Johnson’s Camberwell home is under offer for £1.6m

An offer has been made on Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie’s South with four bedrooms London house for £1.6 million – £400,000 more than they paid for it three years ago, and just a month after it came on the market.

The couple reportedly bought the four-bedroom Victorian semi-villa in Camberwell in July 2019 with a mortgage to let, when Mr Johnson became Prime Minister – and afterwards had to leave their nearby flat when neighbors called police after reports of explosive queues.

The Johnsons made thousands of pounds renting out the property during their stay in Westminster, and according to the Register of MPs’ Interests, the former prime minister had a rental income of at least £10,000 a year.

The unexpected gain will be especially gratifying for the Johnsons, as they resisted the temptation to redecorate the three-story property, let alone decorate it with the gold Lulu Lytle wallpaper that Carrie preferred. during her controversial refurbishment of their controversial £112,000. Downing Street right.

This time Ms. Johnson seems to have opted for minimal and much cheaper changes.

Gardeners planted trees in front of the house and got to grips with the 100 ft yard in the back – while inside, Carrie’s influence seems to have been limited to the kitchen, whose storage cabinets – formerly rustic brown – now have white veneer, with simple brushed steel handles.

The property in Camberwell has been undergoing refurbishment since the beginning of the year.

Estate agents described it as ‘beautiful’ and ‘with a lot of character’ in a ‘sought after’ area. They said it occupies 2100 square feet.

‘The property has been superbly finished throughout, tastefully decorated and retains many features including shutters, wooden floors and low cast iron radiators,’ she added.

It overlooks a park about a mile from the £675,000 flat the Johnsons previously shared.

Ms Johnson is believed to have moved out of her previous residence after an overnight argument with Mr Johnson – then her boyfriend – who led neighbors to call the police after hearing screams.

The incident is believed to have started after red wine was spilled on a sofa. Ms Johnson was reported to have been heard yelling ‘get off me’ while Mr Johnson told her to get off his laptop.

Neighbors said it had been vacant for nearly a year and on the market for sale for several months. Hostile posters soon appeared in the neighborhood as neighbors complained about the prospect of Mr Johnson moving in.

One day in May this year, a car crashed into the house in the early morning hours.
