I believe Craig Kieswetter got a huge insurance settlement due to his career ending injuries too.
Yes, I did wonder if that was the case. By all accounts making a great go of becoming a golfer now, fair play to him for fighting back against that.
Craig Kieswetter is from a very wealthy background. He's South African but with British ancestry. His father, I believe, is a successful businessman and has interests (possibly) in the Scottish whisky industry. CK went to Millfield before signing for Somerset. Such a shame when he took that bouncer in the face. He could have stayed on as a pro, but retired because he couldn't be 'elite'. Still had a lucky escape compared to poor Phil Hughes though..

Little place in Westminster (not the Houses of Parliament).

Mansion House - £36m - http://www.knightfrank.co.uk/properties/residentia...

Streetview - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.4971368,-0.12716...

Now, that lives up to the thread title. Utter filth.

Needs de-Russianing a little inside but otherwise pure unadulterated hardcore porn.
I think that is the Lib Dems' old headquarters. They use a portakabin on a nearby building site now I believe.

Yes thats correct, his parents bought that house and oversaw the renovation, they are very big in the Scottish whiskey business

I honestly prefer the cricketers house.

I'd never feel comfortable in that place.
Same here.

The London pad would make a nice little boutique hotel but its hard to picture it being used as a home. It's also too close to the peasants walking along the pavement outside.

Very nice, but not so sure about the tank farm over the other side of your garden hedge. Ok you won't see it but you've just spent £4M and it's there, next door...




(That's the property on the cliff top behind)

Dare I say, it seems a bit, well, pricey?

You wouldn't want your neighbours having an accident living there.

Only plus point being that you probably wouldn't know much about it.

Maybe a little short on the garage front for here, but I'd be happy to persevere!

Apart from what appears to be a picture of logs on the music room fireplace, that is absolutely perfect. Beautiful.

Missenden is lovely but with HS2 coming I would expect that to go for closer to £3-3.25m.

Big house in London for under 40 mill.

That's Brexit for you.
11,000sq/ft is not that big in London.
Really? That's news to me!

Surely HS2 is going to be 2 or 3 miles away at the closest point?
