Huw Edwards dealt blow as £4.75m house price plummets after it fails to sell
Former BBC newsreader Huw Edwards has failed to sell his huge London home in five months.
Disgraced BBC newsreader Huw Edwards' south London home has been reduced after it failed to sell in five months. The detached mid century property in Dulwich has had £250,000 lopped off its price in the last few days. The six-bed was originally put up for sale for £4,750,000 in October after Edwards and his wife Vicky Flind separated following his sexting shame. But now, according to estate agent Pedder, its price has come down to £4.5m.
They said in their original description that it was "a substantial detached mid century family house" with "exceptionally spacious living accommodation" stretching to more than 4,000sq ft. It boasts six double bedrooms, three bathrooms, one of which is en-suite, three reception rooms, an office and library, double length garage and large mature garden with decking.
The description added: "Set on one of Dulwich's most desirable residential roads, this substantial six double bedroom detached mid century family house.
"The property has been tastefully renovated and extended by the current owners and with a gross internal area of 4,239 sq ft offers extensive living accommodation arranged over three floors.
"The property is ideally located for access to Dulwich Village and West Dulwich with many independent cafes, restaurants, shops, and pubs, outstanding private schools including James Allen's Girls School, Alleyns and Dulwich College, numerous delightful green spaces including Dulwich Park, Belair Park and Sydenham Hill Wood.
Excellent transport links are from Gipsy Hill (London Victoria/London Bridge) and West Dulwich (London Victoria/London Blackfriars)."

Telly producer Flind initially stuck by her husband following a storm over his sexting scandal. However when he was arrested she kicked him out of the home they had shared since buying it for £1.85m in October 2006.
There is no mortgage on the property, and the likelihood is the pair will share the proceeds equally. He has since been dividing his time between a small flat in Wandsworth and Carmarthen in Wales.
Former BBC anchor Edwards was given a six-month jail sentence, suspended for two years, in September after he admitted charges of making indecent images of children.
