Huw Edwards has reportedly put his family’s £4.75 million London home on the market.
The shamed BBC newsreader, 63, was handed a six-month suspended sentence in September after admitting to creating indecent images of children.
Edwards, who forfeited his substantial £475,000 BBC salary when he stepped down in April following medical advice, vacated the family residence he once shared with wife Vicky Flind and their five children amidst the scandal. It’s now reported that the south London property is up for sale, reports the Mirror.
Vicky and Huw purchased the grand property for £1.85m back in 2006. The house is listed on Right Move and is described as a ‘substantial detached mid-century family house’.
According to the Mail, the advert states the property is: “Set on one of [the area’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 4239 sq ft offers extensive living accommodation arranged over three floors’.
The listing details: “The ground floor has a spacious reception hall, three reception rooms, recently re-fitted kitchen/dining room, office/library, cloakroom, utility room and downstairs WC. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom and separate dressing room and a family bathroom.
“The second floor has two double bedrooms and a bathroom. Externally to the front there is a drive providing off street parking for several vehicles and access to a double length garage. To the rear there is a most delightful, mature garden measuring 75’x69.”
Additionally, the advert offers a glimpse inside the abode, showcasing features such as a pool table and a piano. The residence also boasts an expansive garden, complete with a trampoline.
This news surfaces less than a month after the once esteemed Welsh journalist received a suspended prison sentence. Edwards was sentenced at Westminster Magistrates Court in September following his guilty plea in July to three counts of making indecent images of children.
The fallen broadcaster was handed a mere six months imprisonment, suspended for two years, alongside a mandate to undergo a sex offender programme.
Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring also opted against imposing a Sexual Harm Prevention Order on him, stating he “did not pose a risk to the public”. However, he did note that Edwards would be registered as a sex offender for seven years.
Mr Goldspring informed the former News at Ten presenter: “The impact of child sexual abuse can be severe and lifelong.”
He then told Edwards that his “reputation is in tatters,” as he began his sentencing remarks. Mr Goldspring stated: “Perhaps it does not need saying that you are of previous good character having enjoyed a very successful career in the media You were highly regarded for your dedication and professionalism, perhaps the most recognised journalist in the UK. Your reputation is in tatters.”
