The Most Searched-For British Movie Stars’ Homes, Revealed
Have you ever found yourself searching online to get a sneak peek inside celebrity homes? Perhaps you’re just curious about how the other half live – or maybe you’re looking for some star-studded décor inspiration. Whatever the case, you’re not alone.
As it turns out, there are thousands of of us searching online for movie stars’ homes every month. And, with more of us than ever spending the majority of time in our bedrooms, kitchens and lounges, there has been a peak in our interest in celebrity homes for 2020 and beyond.
The big question is: which British film star has the most searched-for home? Well, you’ll have to keep reading to find out.
4th Place: Kate Winslet
Kate Winslet’s Home in Sussex, according to Ideal Celebrity Homes
Kate Winslet is the highest searched British actress and comes in 4th place overall, with 590 searches each month for her stately home in Sussex.
The Oscar-winning actress was reported to be selling her NYC pad in December as she settled in England for good. Her home is a 17th century, eight-bedroom property situated by the sea in West Wittering, Sussex. Winslet bought the property for £4.1 million in 2015.
3rd Place: Hugh Grant
Chelsea, London
The quintessentially British actor is the third most searched celebrity on our list, with 700 searches a month for his lavish six-bedroom semi in Chelsea, London. Purchased in 2019 for a staggering £17.5 million, it’s not surprising to see such public interest in this particular celebrity home.
2nd Place: Tom Hardy
With 720 searches a month, Tom Hardy has the second most searched-for celebrity home. The much-admired 43-year-old actor lives in Richmond, where he has reportedly started looking into self-sufficiency and growing his own vegetables during lockdown.
1st Place: Jason Statham
Jason Statham’s L.A. Home, Architectural Digest
It’s official: the most searched-for celebrity home belongs to none other than Jason Statham! With 880 searches a month, Statham and his L.A. home are miles ahead of the competition.
For those interested in celebrity home interiors, you can get a fascinating glimpse into Statham’s home here, which as it turned out was bought as a fixer-upper. With a focus on natural light and sleek, refined design, it’s truly an enviable home.
