I was very proud of it and very much enjoyed it'. Even put air conditioning in the main bedroom. He spent about £500,000 'completely re-doing it: turned three ground floor rooms into one, extended it out the back. 'I didn't even know it was on the market,' he tells me, adding that he bought the house, which had been used as a rental property, shortly before he married Penny. Richard Bradford, as the resolutely down-to-earth earl prefers to be known, is dumbfounded.
'So, if she's got the asking price, that will be nearly £500,000 for every year she was with him.' 'Penny walked out in September 2020,' a friend of the erstwhile couple tells me.
It's a particularly mouth-watering price as the five-bedroom house was valued at £3.3million in the divorce settlement. Indeed, I can reveal that eminent obstetrician Penny, 61 – known professionally as Dr Penelope Law – has just sold the former marital home, two months after putting it on the market for £5.25million. She celebrated her marriage to the Earl of Bradford amid unforgettable splendour, with 230 guests being treated to Taittinger pink champagne, a sumptuous dinner, flamenco dancing – and fireworks over the lake at Weston Park, Shropshire, her new husband's former family seat.īut that all amounts to little more than loose change when compared with the peach of a payday that Penny, Countess of Bradford is now enjoying, thanks to her divorce last September, 14 years after that dazzling wedding.
