The Great British Bake Off judge often shared glimpses inside the property on Instagram, and was clearly enamoured by it. However, the star officially sold up for £10million via boutique estate agency FG Consultants in December 2020, with plans to move to a home with her husband John Playfair nearby, for the first time.
