Blairs now buy house for daughter
August 28th, 2010 - 1:39 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Aug 28 (IANS) Former British prime minister Tony Blair and wife Cherie have bought a three-bedroom house for their daughter Kathryn in central London, a media report said.
The maisonette in a Georgian townhouse in central London becomes the eighth home in the Blairs’ seemingly ever-expanding portfolio, Daily Mail reported on its website Friday.
It was bought mortgage-free in the names of Cherie Blair and her 22-year-old daughter, Land Registry documents show.
Cherie Blair and her daughter secured the maisonette for a sum 20,000 pounds below its 995,000-pound asking price.
The house boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, dining room and kitchen. A lift connects the flat to a ground-floor garage.
Workmen have been renovating and redecorating the property since the Blairs bought it at the end of July. They have installed a bespoke designer kitchen and a new bathroom and replaced carpets with stripped wooden floors.
Blairs’ three eldest children now each have a home in London, all bought with substantial help from their parents.
Kathryn and her older brothers Euan, 26, and Nicky, 24, all live within striking distance of their parents’ 3.7 million pounds mansion in Connaught Square.
The Blairs have amassed property worth 15 million pounds since Blair entered Downing Street in 1997.
