Celebrity homes

With the BBC’s Sherlock currently knocking spots off Guy Richie’s rather dismal cinema outing for Conan Doyle’s sleuth and sidekick, we have found an ideal retreat for the stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman should they wish to get away from the crazy retro interiors of the BBC set and soak up some real period splendour.

This fabulous house in one of Brighton’s most desirable crescents is larded with period detail and charm from top to bottom, whilst not skimping on mod cons. With three receptions and four large bedrooms it doesn’t skimp on size either. There are two bathrooms, a utility room and the private garden crescent to the front. If the boys, as Una Stubbs so cutely calls them, feel the need, it’s only a few moments walk to Baker Street too, the Brighton one.

Tidier and far better decorated than the BBC version of their home this stunning period property built by Amon and Amon Henry Wilds is a must view property.
