HUW Edwards’ London residence has been placed on the market for £4.75 million, according to reports from The Mirror. The Welsh journalist, who has faced public disgrace, originally purchased the property with his wife, Vicky Flind, for £1.85 million in 2006. The house, located in a prestigious part of South London, is now up for sale following Edwards’ recent legal troubles.
In September, the 63-year-old former BBC newsreader, from Carmarthenshire, was handed a suspended six-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to possessing indecent images of children. Edwards vacated the family home, which he shared with his wife and five children, in July.
The property is described as a spacious family home with six double bedrooms, spread across three floors, featuring generous living spaces. It also boasts a large garden, a driveway with room for several cars, and a double-length garage, adding to its appeal on one of the area’s most sought-after roads.
Huw Edwards appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court last month, where he admitted to three counts of possessing indecent images of children. Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring sentenced him to a suspended prison term and ordered him to complete a sex offender rehabilitation programme. Edwards will also be placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register for seven years, though no Sexual Harm Prevention Order was imposed.
In court, Goldspring acknowledged the once celebrated reputation Edwards had in the media, but stated that his legacy has been irrevocably tarnished by his crimes. The sale of the home comes amidst ongoing legal developments in Edwards’ case.
As this situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the sale of Edwards’ London home will progress. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
