Eight-bedroom north London home that featured in Simon Pegg’s cult TV show goes on sale

An eight-bedroom house in north London which featured in Simon Pegg’s cult television series Spaced has gone on sale for £3.75million. 

The Grade II-listed home in Tufnell Park, north London, originally went on the market for £4million earlier this year, but failed to sell and is now on the market for £3.75million.

Pegg played the starring role in the hit show which ran for just two series from 1999 to 2001. Pegg played graphic artist Tim Bisley, who moved into a flat at the house with Daisy Steiner, played by Jessica Stevenson.

The show, directed by Edgar Wright – who went on to make Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Baby Driver – also introduced the world to Pegg’s real life pal Nick Frost, who played bumbling Mike Watt.

In the show Tim and Daisy rented a flat from the permanently sozzled landlady Marsha Klein, played by Julia Deakin.

Tim and Daisy struggle throughout the show to make ends meet, with Tim working at a comic book store and Daisy taking on a series of jobs, of which she ultimately fails at. The two have to scramble together just £90 a week for the property, a far cry from the £3.75million the property is currently on the market for.

Daisy and Tim were the main characters of the show and lived at the property on Carleton Road, Tufnell Park, London

In 2015, two of the buildings rooms were made available to tenants, with rent cost around £2,000 a month. 

The house’s current owner, costume designer Chris Winter, who worked on the 2016 movie Absolutely Fabulous, has now instructed estate agents Century 21 to sell her eight-bed home. 

Winter, who has owned the home since 1993, has previously said that Spaced fans would often turn up at the home – built in 1867 – to pay tribute to their favourite show.

The Grade II- listed home has five floors and spans across 4,600 square feet and still has many of its period features

She said in 2015: ‘People come to visit from all over the world. If they don’t run off when they see us, which they sometimes do, they often say that they were choosing a holiday destination and they picked London so that they could visit the Spaced house.

‘I do think that’s a bit extreme but people really love it. There’s someone outside almost all the time, we get at least one visitor a day, and if we don’t then they make up for it at the weekend.’

She added: ‘You can spot a Spaced fan from a mile off. They’re often hipsters, a lot of them wear beanies, they might be skateboarders – they look very like the characters in the programme really.’

Aside from its eight bedrooms (one pictured above) the property also has a spacious loft and a dressing room

Sales manager at Century 21, Marc Pesci, told the Camden New Journal newspaper last week that there had been ‘a lot of interest’ in the property – especially from fans of the TV series.

He said: ‘The owner has said that people come from all over to see the property and you would like to think that somebody who loved the show and had the means would show an interest.

‘It’s our most prestigious family home currently on the market with us and is in one of the most sought-after locations in Tufnell Park.’

Set on the lower ground floor the flat is accessed from it's own entrance at the side of the house. The house opens on the ground floor to two rooms which serve as the reception with original fireplace and textured period ceiling

According to the estate agent’s blurb, the home is an ‘imposing property’ set across five floors.

It states: ‘Gothic splendour in the heart of Tufnell Park would be the most apt way to describe this quite magnificent eight-bedroom home set across five floors.

‘This quite unique property was last on the market in 1993 and would make a wonderful home for a very lucky family.

The home is a stones throw away from Tufnell Park station and is close to music venues such as Forum Kentish Town

‘The property itself is currently configured as a self-contained one/two bedroom flat replete with reception room, dining room or second bedroom, a good sized fitted kitchen and bathroom.

‘Set on the lower ground floor the flat is accessed from it’s own entrance at the side of the house.’

The home has eight bathrooms, four bathrooms and three receptions rooms.

The unique property is set in a residential area and the estate agent responsible for selling the property, 21 Century, said it would be a 'wonderful home for a very lucky family'
