Ricky Gervais, 63, the renowned English comedian, has an impressive collection of accolades including several BAFTA awards, British Comedy Awards, two Emmy Awards and four Golden Globe Awards. The actor is globally recognised for his dry, often dark humour.
Born and raised in Reading, Berkshire, Gervais attended University College London (UCL) in 1980. It was during his university years that he met his long-term partner, English author and TV producer, Jane Fallon.
Away from the limelight, Gervais leads a quiet life, splitting his time between multiple properties in the UK and the US. His property portfolio boasts a stunning countryside retreat in Buckinghamshire, a £14.75million home in London and two apartments on New York’s Upper East Side, purchased for £1.1million in 2008 and £2.5million in 2011.
His Buckinghamshire residence in Marlow, acquired in 2016, features two bedrooms with his-and-hers dressing areas and a tennis court. Marlow has been home to numerous celebrities over the years, including Radio DJ Chris Evans, ex-England cricket captain Andrew Strauss and celebrity chef Tom Kerridge, who owns two Michelin Star gastropubs in the town.
This charming town, nestled on the River Thames, is famed for its surrounding lush greenery and the woodlands of the Chiltern Hills, reports the Express.
As a Georgian market town, Marlow offers an idyllic yet vibrant setting, boasting a variety of boutique shops, cafes, restaurants and bistros to entertain its visitors.
One of the town’s most renowned landmarks is the suspension bridge that stretches across the River Thames, linking the counties of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.
This Grade I-listed building serves as a connection between Marlow and the charming village of Bisham.
Marlow’s appeal to celebrities, its stunning architecture and its close proximity to London make it an extremely sought-after place to reside.
According to Rightmove, the UK’s largest property portal, properties in Marlow had an overall average price of £817,568 over the past year.
Detached properties made up the majority of sales in Marlow during the last year, selling for an average price of £1,226,367. Terraced properties sold for an average of £631,707, while semi-detached properties fetched £737,951.
