Exciting news for fans of John Constable. The artist's former London home is currently up for sale. Constable's Georgian house on Wells Walk near Hampstead Heath, where the artist lived between 1827 and 1837, is being offered for sale with Marcus Parfitt for £4.9m.
According to the report above:
“It’s a little step back in time,” says agent Marcus Parfitt. “The back of the house faces due south and overlooks Gainsborough Gardens, which is the only private garden in the middle of Hampstead village.
"You’re elevated from the upper floors straight over town. The light is wonderful. It feels warm – it ticks so many boxes for a lovely village home.”
I'm sold.

As an aside, Constable's Old Hall, East Bergholt performed rather well in Christie's New York's Part II sale yesterday, having realised $264,600 (inc. fees) over its estimate of $80k - $120k. Perhaps the buyer might like to buy his old house too?
