Uk Houses Once Owned Sting And Michael Caine Sale
in London
Two notable UK celebrity-owned residences, one previously owned by musician Sting and the other by award-winning actor Sir Michael Caine, have recently been put up for sale. Located in London’s affluent Hampstead area, Frognal is currently listed at GBP11.95 million ($20.7 million), while Rectory Farm House in Oxfordshire is on the market at GBP10 million.
Both properties hold Grade II listed building status, a classification reserved for buildings of significant architectural or historical importance in the UK. With over 370,000 listed buildings in the country, any alterations to these properties must be approved by authorities.
Frognal, believed to have been built in the early 18th century, is one of the oldest surviving houses in Hampstead. Spanning 4,300 sq ft, the residence boasts a two-storey gabled porch, a roof terrace and a landscaped rear garden. This marks the first time in over 35 years that Frognal has been on the market, with Savills handling the sale. Head of sales in Savills Hampstead, Nier Gigi, notes that the property is in high demand due to its coveted location.

On the other hand, Rectory Farm House occupies 8.3 acres in North Stoke, with scenic views of the River Thames. The six-bedroom property was home to Caine and his family for 15 years, from 1984 to 1999. Over the years, the actor has made several improvements to the house, including a modern extension featuring a vaulted living and dining room – dubbed the “Long Room” – as well as a games room, a library, and an indoor swimming pool, spa and sauna.
The oldest parts of the house include a music room, a drawing room, and a sitting room, each featuring stone fireplaces and beams. Other rooms in the property include a library, a study, two kitchens, and a gym. The principal bedroom has its own private staircase and outdoor terrace, while a separate stairway leads to the remaining five bedrooms. The grounds also feature a one-bedroom cottage, a lodge which currently serves as staff accommodation, and a thatched barn, which is used for car storage but comes with a kitchen, a bathroom and an office.
With its combination of period charm and modern conveniences, Rectory Farm House is an ideal setting for entertaining on a grand scale. Director in the country house department at Savills, Hugh Maconochie, highlights the property’s appeal as a “perfect country retreat” for those seeking a private estate on the outskirts of a village. Rectory Farm House is easily accessible from Heathrow Airport and just four miles from Goring and Streatley Station, which provides train services to London Paddington Station.
