Kate Moss’s Former London Hideaway Just Hit the Market for £5.95M

Tucked away behind a discreet façade in one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods lies a house that once belonged to British style royalty. The former St John’s Wood home of Kate Moss, known for its air of mystery and moments of fashion folklore, has quietly re-emerged on the market, listed with Arlington Residential for £5.95 million.

But this isn’t just a celebrity home with a glamorous past. It’s a house with rare character — one that has evolved over decades while keeping its sense of calm, privacy and proportion intact.

Back in 1993, the property was a handsome period building arranged over two floors. It sold for less than £800,000. By the early 2000s, it had caught the attention of Moss, who purchased it for £1.75 million, no doubt drawn to the blend of grandeur and discretion it offered. She held onto the house for a decade before selling in 2012, reportedly for £6.8 million.

Now, for the first time in over ten years, the house is available once again. And while it may not scream for attention, its charms are hard to ignore.

A sweeping drawing room with ceiling heights to rival any West End gallery, soft natural light pouring in through tall sash windows, and a lower-ground kitchen and entertaining level that flows seamlessly onto the southwest-facing walled garden — these are the sort of details you don’t easily find in London property today. There’s a quiet confidence to the layout: elegant without being showy, inviting without being over-designed.

The garden itself, unusually large for the area, offers a rare dose of tranquillity, while the house’s tucked-away setting means it remains almost entirely unseen from the street. It’s this sense of invisibility that’s likely to appeal most to the next buyer: someone who wants luxury and space without the performance of it.

“Buyers at this level tend to know what they want — and often, that’s privacy,” says Marc Schneiderman, Director at Arlington Residential, who has a long-standing relationship with the property. “This home offers exactly that, without compromising on light or layout.”

St John’s Wood has long held appeal for A-listers and low-key creatives alike — close enough to central London for convenience, far enough for peace. It’s where grand villas sit quietly behind hedgerows, and where properties of this calibre rarely come up for sale.

Yes, it’s a house once owned by Kate Moss. But more than that, it’s a house that understands discretion, and for many luxury buyers, that’s the ultimate status symbol.
