In November 2019, Penny Churchill of Country Life, wrote an
article about the Grade II-listed Brightwell Manor in Oxfordshire. The property
was then on the market for £5m.
Last week, it was reported that the nine bedroom, five-bathroom
house, had been bought by Boris and Carrie Johnson, for a reputed £4m. The
house, which dates from the early 1600s, is set in five acres of land, partly
moated, in the Oxfordshire village of Brightwell-cum-Sotwell.
After being
ignominiously slung out of 10 Downing Street, six months ago, when members of
his cabinet and junior ministers resigned in their droves, Boris and Carrie,
and their two children, Walter and Romy, have been looking for a permanent
home. After resigning as Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, said he would now be
spending his time putting "Hay in
the hayloft." He once described his £250,000 a year earnings from the
Daily Telegraph, as "chicken feed"
and always said that he couldn't live on a PM's salary of £164,00.
It has been reported that in the last 6-months, Johnson has
made nearly £5m from speeches, advances, and donations. He registered £74,000
in accommodation from Lord Bamford and his wife Carole, who are personal friends.
The mega-rich, Lord Bamford, who owns JCB, also paid £23,000 for Boris's
postnuptial summer wedding celebration in 2022.
