Notting Hill house with iconic blue door from Hugh Grant film goes on sale for £7.5million

It's the famous blue door that sent romantic comedy fans into a frenzy – and now one lucky buyer could own a slice of Hollywood history for £7.5million.

The iconic Notting Hill house made famous by Hugh Grant's hit 1999 film has gone on the market, attracting attention from fans of the much-loved romantic comedy. The three-bedroom property on Westbourne Park Road, west London, featured as the home of bookshop owner William Thacker, played by Grant, who falls for glamorous Hollywood actress Anna Scott, portrayed by Julia Roberts.

Previously owned by the film's screenwriter Richard Curtis, the house has become a tourist hotspot, with visitors regularly stopping to snap photographs outside its instantly recognisable blue front door. According to the estate agent's listing, Curtis was living there when production designer Stuart Craig selected the property for the film – reportedly without initially realising it belonged to the writer.

The original 19th-century door was later sold at Christie's for charity, but its replacement has since been restored to the famous shade of blue recognised by film lovers around the world. Now marketed by Sotheby's International Realty, the property is being billed as a "remarkable" home offering buyers the chance to own "unique cinematic history".

And there's plenty more than just the famous frontage. Spanning approximately 2,928 sq ft, the house boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen and a huge 34ft courtyard. It also features a spectacular roof terrace measuring around 29ft by 14ft, accessed via a spiral staircase.

The estate agent's description reads: "Behind one of the most recognisable front doors in London lies a remarkable three-bedroom house, once home to screenwriter Richard Curtis and immortalised as William Thacker's residence in the 1999 film Notting Hill." The listing adds that the property combines its cinematic past with impressive architecture, generous interiors and two substantial outdoor spaces.

The house remains a magnet for film fans more than 25 years after the movie's release. But with a £7.5million asking price, recreating that famous doorstep romance certainly won't come cheap.
