There are few actors as charming as British thespian, Hugh Grant. After establishing himself as one of the most popular film actors of the 90s in roles like “Four Weddings and a Funeral”, “Bridget Jones Diary”, and, of course, “Notting Hill”, Hugh would become Hollywood’s go-to leading man for romantic comedies for the entire decade and beyond. Of course, for as much as his love life appeared to be perfect on-screen, Hugh’s real-life love stories are far more complicated, involving multiple short-lived romantic partners, a few illegitimate children, and most notoriously of all -- the solicitation of a prostitute while he was in a long-term relationship with Elizabeth Hurley. But over the years since, Hugh has finally mellowed. Sure, he might have had two children by two different women as recently as 2012, but six years later, in 2018, he’d marry the mother of three of his children, Swedish television producer, Anna Eberstein. Now, he and Anna share a large real estate portfolio which, at times, has boasted over a dozen homes. One of those is a charming penthouse located in South Kensington, London, which Grant lived in at the peak of his acting career in the early 2000s. Another is a home that shows just how much art can sometimes imitate life – a $13 Million mansion that Hugh picked up in the neighborhood he helped make famous -- Notting Hill. Otherwise, if he and Anna ever feel the need to get outside of the UK, well then, they’ve also got a $700,000 vacation spot in her home country of Sweden as well. And last but not least is Hugh’s most recent purchase -- an astoundingly expensive $23 Million home in the affluent London area known as Chelsea. So, if you’ve ever wondered what being a generational romantic-lead can mean for your home-life, then stay tuned to our newest House Tour as we embark on the homes of Hugh Grant!
Hailing from the UK, actor Hugh Grant has never strayed too far from his roots.
He's lived in a handful of stunning homes across the pond, including a South Kensington
penthouse, a $13 million mansion in Notting Hill, and a vacation spot in Sweden.
Finally, his most recent property purchase might just be the nicest of all – a $23
million estate in the posh Chelsea area of London.

There are few actors as charming as British Hugh Grant.

like Bridget Jones Diary and of course Notting Hill, Hugh would become Hollywood's go-to
Of course, for as much as his love life appeared to be perfect on screen, Hugh's real-life
love stories are far more complicated, involving multiple short-lived romantic partners, a

relationship with Elizabeth Hurley.
But over the years since, Hugh has finally mellowed.
Sure, he might've had two children by two different women as recently as 2012, but 6
years later in 2018, he'd marry the mother of three of his children, Swedish TV producer
Anna Eberstein.
Now he and Anna share a large real estate portfolio, which at times has boasted over
a dozen homes.
For example, there's the penthouse Grant lived in at the peak of his acting career
in the early 2000's, the Notting Hill mansion, and even their vacation home in Anna's home
country of Sweden.
If those aren't enough, Hugh most recently bought an uber-expensive spread in an affluent
London neighbourhood.

this one checking out the homes of Hugh Grant.

And now let's get into this video.
One of Hugh Grant's most well-known residences was the South Kensington penthouse he bought
Kensington is an area of London that's famous for its designer shops, restaurants, and prestigious
schools.
As for the glitzy penthouse, it's known as the Peter Sham House, and is located on
Harrington Road.
Hugh's former abode spans the entire 7th floor of the building, and boasts an elevator
that opens directly into the home's reception room.
Inside, you'll find three double bedrooms, with accompanying ensuite bathrooms as well
as a spacious living room, sunroom, dining room, a gym, multiple terraces, and a jacuzzi.
Also that jacuzzi can fit up to 6 people, which definitely lives up to the party-hearted
lifestyle Hugh was reportedly living around the time he lived in this space.
Apparently, Hugh decided to sell sometime in 2003, just before he began filming another
one of his classics, Love Actually.
At the time of his move, he said he needed a bigger space.
And while this penthouse might not be massive, it's not exactly small either.
The residence spans just over 3,000 square feet and boasts a massive outside terrace
that not only creates an additional 1,500 square feet, but offers 360 degree views of
the skyline, including views of all the famous city landmarks in London.
You can also catch the views through many massive floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding
glass doors located throughout.
There's also lots of high-voltage ceilings, mirrors, skylights, custom-made crystal chandeliers,
and a bright neutral colour palette, including white marble bathrooms.
And Hugh's former master suite is pretty much the ideal place for anyone to relax.
It not only boasts a large dressing room and a vast ensuite bathroom finished in the best
marble, it even includes a skylight over the shower that provides a one-of-a-kind experience.
After Hugh sold this home in 2003, it's occasionally hit the market again over the
years, including as recently as a year ago when it was listed at 12.3 million dollars.
But by that point, Hugh had already moved on to one of his many other homes, so let's
take a look at one of those next.
In fact, let's head over to his wife's home country of Sweden.
After beginning a relationship with Anna Eberstein in the early 2010s, Hugh has become something
of a regular in the country of Sweden.
Whether he's in the county of Skagen to take part in a charity race, or visiting an
inn in Stockholm for a romantic getaway with his longtime partner, he and Anna and their
young children love to tour this gorgeous country.
That's probably why in 2015, Hugh decided to put roots down here permanently by scooping
himself up a beach house for around $700,000 in the town of Turkov, Sweden.
A few photos of Grant's new home began to circulate in the Swedish press almost as soon
as news broke that the world-famous actor had chosen to purchase it.
These images show a roughly 1,300 square foot, one-level home, painted in all white with
a large front yard located right on the water.
But according to reports that were soon to follow, it was never actually Hugh's intention
to live in the structure that sits there now.
Instead, all signs point to he and his wife undertaking some extensive renovations to
spruce the place up and make it exactly as they want it.
Even going so far as to demolish the current house to build another in its place.
But even then, I'm not entirely sure how much of the year Hugh and his family will
really be spending here.
When asked by the Swedish news agency TT if he planned on wintering in Sweden, Hugh laughed
and replied,
No, it is enough to spend the summer in Sweden.
Well at least it's always there if they need it.
Alright, let's head on back to England to check out two final properties, one of which
is located in an area I think you'll all be familiar with.
After turning the English neighborhood of Notting Hill into every romantic comedy lover's
dream destination, Hugh decided to get in on the fun by picking up a 13 million dollar
mansion in the neighborhood all for himself.
Hugh bought this property almost two decades after starring in the film that popularized
this quaint part of London.
His home is a handsome semi-detached abode that sits in a crescent only a few blocks
away from the home of his former character in the film, Will Thacker, with its immediately
recognizable blue door.
Details on what this place is like on the inside are slim, but it reportedly boasts
five bedrooms, a bespoke kitchen, and two dressing rooms.
According to sources, Hugh would drop a further $700,000 to spruce this place up with a series
of renovations, but it's also unlikely that he ever spent much time here.
Instead, he rents the home out at a rate of $10,000 a week.
I mean, that is kind of smart, I bet there are a ton of Notting Hill fans that are willing
to pay through the nose to vacation in a house located in that very same neighborhood that's
actually owned by the star of the film himself.
As for why Hugh doesn't spend that much time here if any, well that probably has something
to do with him having recently bought a $23 million mansion in the heart of Chelsea, London
in 2019.
Not only is Hugh now neighbours with Pippa Middleton and her husband James Matthews,
but he's the proud owner of a 6 bedroom semi-detached home that's located in one of the most exclusive
streets in the entire city.
Unfortunately, the area is so exclusive that that's literally all we know about his new
newest purchase.
But it sure does look nice from the outside, doesn't it?
Will Hugh Grant call it a day here and be content with his real estate portfolio as
it stands?
We'll just have to wait and see, but rest assured, if Hugh picks up himself a new home
anytime soon, we'll hit you up with as many of the details as we can find.
But for now, that's going to bring this latest edition of House Tour to a close.
