Huw Edwards’ London home is reportedly up for sale for a whopping £4.75 million. The disgraced Welsh journalist, who purchased the property with his wife Vicky Flind for £1.85 million back in 2006, has put the house on the market in south London, according to the Mirror. The decision to sell comes after the former BBC newsreader, now 63 years old, received a suspended six-month prison sentence in September following a guilty plea for the possession of indecent images of children. It is understood that Edwards moved out of the family residence he shared with his wife and five children in July.
The property, situated on one of the most sought-after residential roads in the area, boasts six double bedrooms and spacious living quarters spread across three floors. Additionally, the house features a driveway for multiple vehicles and a double-length garage. Furthermore, there is a substantial garden attached to the property.
In September, Edwards appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court for sentencing, where he admitted to three counts of possessing indecent images of children. Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring decided on a suspended six-month prison term, with a requirement for Edwards to complete a sex offender program. Despite not imposing a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, Goldspring stated that Edwards would be listed on the Sex Offenders’ Register for seven years, highlighting the severe and enduring impact of child sexual abuse. Goldspring also acknowledged Edwards’ once sterling reputation in the media industry, stating that his legacy was now tarnished.
The property listing comes amid ongoing developments in Edwards’ legal case. WalesOnline has recently launched a WhatsApp community for breaking news and top stories, providing a convenient way for readers to stay informed about events in Wales.
