It was after his 1945 election defeat that the politician supposedly bought this property for around £245,000 to use it as an office since, in addition, it was next to the house he already owned, so over time he joined both properties to create a larger mansion. After his death in 1965, its initial configuration was recovered, separating it into two homes. The last time it changed ownership was in 2001, the year in which It was sold for 5.75 million pounds, property records show.
