If walls could talk, then those at The Tower, above, in Avon Carrow, would have quite a story to share.
The property was once home to John Profumo, the Secretary of State for War and MP at the centre of one of the biggest political scandals in 20th-century British history. Owned by the family since the 1920s, Avon Carrow was where Profumo retreated to in the ‘60s when the affair that rocked the establishment was exposed.
Today Grade II listed Avon Carrow is a collection of mews homes, The Tower being at its centre. Imposing yet elegant, the former hunting lodge retains a great number of original features, including the most impressive oak-panelled drawing room and intricate stained glass windows.
Being able to link your home with a famous name can open a fascinating window on the past. Below is a selection of properties for sale that were previously owned by interesting and influential figures.
