Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s Former Kensington Mews Home Now Available for Rent

Traveloasisspot.com – Would you relish the opportunity to reside in a home once graced by global superstars? The charming South Kensington mews property that Madonna and Guy Ritchie s former residence during the dawn of the new millennium has been listed for rental through Dexters at a monthly rate of £8,992.

A Property Rich in Cinematic Heritage

Long before the couple became household names, Ritchie secured ownership of this distinctive former coach house situated on Queen’s Gate Mews during the early 1990s. When their romantic relationship blossomed, Madonna relocated into the residence, and the pair subsequently made it their shared sanctuary.

Their union was further cemented in 2000 with the birth of their first child, Rocco Ritchie, followed by marriage later that same year. Rather than seeking a larger dwelling, the newlyweds chose to remain within the cozy confines of the two-bedroom mews house.

At this pivotal moment in their careers, Madonna had recently unveiled her eighth studio album titled Music, while simultaneously appearing alongside Rupert Everett in The Next Best Thing, which premiered earlier that year. Meanwhile, Ritchie was enjoying considerable success as a filmmaker, having penned and helmed his second feature film, Snatch, which featured an ensemble cast including Brad Pitt, Jason Statham, and Vinnie Jones.

Screen Time and Creative Contributions

During their tenure at the mews house, Ritchie made the decision to cast Madonna in his romantic comedy Swept Away. The film premiered in 2002 and, despite receiving considerable criticism from critics at the box office, remains a notable chapter in both their careers.

Ritchie’s creative influence extended beyond the screen into the home itself. He is credited with personally designing the property’s sleek stainless-steel kitchen, which occupies a corner of the principal living area.

The residence’s celebrity pedigree earned it valuable screen presence. In 2003, Ritchie granted his friend Matthew Vaughn permission to utilize the property as a filming location for Layer Cake, which debuted the following year. Within the film, the mews house portrayed the residence of Daniel Craig’s character, a seasoned drug dealer contemplating retirement from his criminal enterprise.

The property’s cinematic credentials run even deeper. The building itself made an appearance in the 1970s crime drama Performance, while the broader Queens Gate Mews area was featured in The Bank Job in 2008.

From Mews House to Georgian Estate

As their family grew, the couple eventually determined they required more space. In 2001, they purchased Ashcombe House, a Grade II-listed Georgian estate located in Wiltshire, for approximately £9 million. According to Land Registry documentation, they sold the South Kensington mews property at the conclusion of 2003.

Following their divorce in 2008, Ritchie retained ownership of Ashcombe House and continues to reside there with his family to this day.

Modern Amenities Meet Historic Charm

The Kensington mews house, however, awaits a new chapter. Spanning 1,540 square feet across two levels, the residence features an open-plan living space on the ground floor—complete with the kitchen designed by Ritchie—alongside two bedrooms and a study on the upper level.

Constructed during the 1860s, the building boasts a white brick exterior adorned with two substantial arched windows on the ground floor and a Juliet balcony above, which connects to one of the bedrooms.

Visitors might be surprised to discover how few traces of its illustrious past remain. The interior presents wooden flooring, air conditioning, and a restrained color scheme, with little to indicate that this was once Daniel Craig’s cinematic residence. A tidy arrangement of plants sits outside the elegant front entrance.

“Properties with this kind of history simply don’t come up often,” notes Elinor Ward of Dexters South Kensington and Knightsbridge.

“The house was lived in by Madonna and Guy Ritchie, and used as Daniel Craig’s home in the film Layer Cake. It is full of character, beautifully finished, and perfectly placed for anyone wanting to be in the heart of South Kensington.”
