Quinton Scott

Quinton Scott, are currently marketing a beautiful four- bedroom property on Wimbledon Common that was once the home of former Formula One World Champion, James Hunt (c. 1947-1993).

This is a rare opportunity to own a stunning, Grade II listed property that was bought by Hunt, as a countryside retreat in London, following his retirement from racing in 1979.  Hunt won the Formula One World Championship in 1976 and was celebrated for his charisma and English eccentricity both on and off the track. 

Hunt was the epitome of playboy racing drivers and attracted a wider audience to the sport in the mid-1970's.  Comparisons are frequently drawn between his lifestyle and that of latter- day Formula One stars such as Eddie Irvine and Kimi Räikkönen.

Soon after retirement, Hunt joined Murray Walker as a commentator for BBC television's Formula One coverage.  It was Hunt’s entertaining, insightful and outspoken commentary that made him such a memorable figure in British motor racing history.

This property is set in the beautiful surroundings of Wimbledon Common.  Its features include four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large double reception room, two delightful gardens and a drive with parking.  Originally built as a coach House, for the neighbouring Heathfield House, the property has been tastefully refurbished whilst still retaining its original period character. 

The property is valued at £1,595,000 and interested parties should contact Quinton Scott’s Wimbledon Village office on 020 8971 6780 for further information.
