Keira Knightley had her pick of the capital’s most exclusive properties.
And Keira Knightley finally appears to have found a home befitting of her superstar status.
The actress has shelled out almost £4m for a sprawling, ‘family-sized’ home for her and her rocker husband.
Keira Knightley has spent £4million on a new London home that is 'laid out for family life'
The 2,775sq ft house was bought in September after Keira put her £3m East London home up for sale
The 28-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean star paid £3.775m for the five-bedroom home, a house that estate agents have described as being ‘laid out for family life’.
She bought the property in September this year after putting her previous home, a £3m East London townhouse, on the market.
Her lavish new home in the city also features a basement gym, wine cellar, and measures a massive 2775 sq ft. It is in one of London’s most exclusive areas, notable for its quiet residential streets.
According to the estate agents, the property has been laid out to suit family life, with ‘a great space for dining and entertaining’.
The 13-room, four-storey home has two en-suite bedrooms, in addition to a sprawling garden.
The 28-year-old actress will move in to the home (left) with her now-husband James Righton (right), singer of band The Klaxons. The couple married in a modest ceremony earlier this year
Miss Knightley wed husband James Righton, 30, in the hilltop village of Mazan in the south of France in May this year.
Righton is a singer and keyboard player with pop band Klaxons, and the pair were introduced by television presenter Alexa Chung in 2011.
It was last year that the actress revealed she wanted to start a family, but considered it slightly too soon.
She explained that she would not want to become a stay-at-home mother, and did not want to sacrifice her acting career to have children.
Since the Pirates of the Caribbean films, Knightley has become best known for starring in period drama films such as Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, Silk, A Dangerous Method and Anna Karenina.
The new property comes with five bedrooms, two of them en-suite, a basement gym, and a wine cellar
Miss Knightley’s previous home was in one of London’s trendiest areas, well-known for its busy nightlife. It was situated near to The Ten Bells pub, infamous as the place where Jack the Ripper’s victims drank.
She sold the imposing Georgian-style property just three years after buying it for 2.4m. She had considered giving it to her older brother Caleb, before deciding to sell.
The house had its own cinema, while it also featured a sky blue bath tub in one of the bedrooms.
