The leafy British borough where music legend Midge Ure lived in a £3.5million mansion

The musician owned a property in Chiswick, a quiet borough of London.

While the borough is in the UK's capital and close to central London, it has a small village feel.

​It is a leafy and picturesque area with traditional pubs and 18th century homes.

Midge purchased a 1930s mansion around 40 years ago, having already lived in Chiswick for many years.

Inside, it had a sizeable wood-panelled reception room, a cellar equipped with a sauna and even an attached one bedroom flat.

It holds a lot of musical history as it used to have a recording studio in the annexe.

Musician Bob Geldof - who has lived in an "atmospheric" British market town for more than 35 years - was even a visitor.

The property recently went on sale for an eye-watering £3.5million.

Before that, it was bought by the former owner in 2021 for a cool £2.8million.

This is above average for the area, but anyone looking to buy there will still need to fork out a small fortune.
