Kate Moss puts Highgate mansion up for sale as she quits London for quiet country life

Kate Moss has left her daughter shocked by throwing the house she grew up in on the market as she prepares to move out of London for a new life in the country.

The 47-year-old South London supermodel, originally from Croydon, has been well known for raising hell in North London in her wild days and had lived in suburban Highgate for a decade.

Kate is mum to 19-year-old Lila Grace – who she shares with former boyfriend Jefferson Hack, 50, who she dated for a number of years in the early 2000s.

Now Kate dates 34-year-old German aristocrat and photographer Count Nikolai von Bismarck – who has reportedly convinced the model to trade in her city life for a new quieter one in the Cotswolds.

Kate has put her mansion up for sale as she plans to move away from Highgate – and the sudden announcement of the sale has supposedly been a shock to Lila Grace who has lived there for half her life.

The DailyMail claims the teen has lamented: “I remember the first time playing hide and seek in this house when it was empty, kind of like how it is now.”

While the publication goes on to suggest Kate is expecting to rake in almost £3 million in profits when she sells the property.

They claim she bought the home in 2011 for £7.25 million – but it is now valued to be worth over £10 million.

A source told the paper: “Kate wants to permanently move to her house in the Cotswolds, where she spent most of lockdown with her boyfriend Count Nikolai von Bismarck.

“This really is the end of an era for London’s Britpop scene, now that the Queen of London is moving out.

“There have been whispers that Nikolai put pressure on Kate to make this stint of sobriety work for the sake of their relationship.

“Kate has spent the last month or so really doubling down on her sobriety and has spent time out of London as part of that process. Undoubtedly Lila will want her mum’s health to come first.”

Meanwhile, movers have already been spotted pottering around Kate’s house – with workers seen carrying boxes of belongings.

Lila Grace has followed her mother into the world of modelling – having landed her first deal at the age of 14-years-old; which was also the age of Kate when she first started her career as a professional clothes wearer.

Elle online has listed highlights of her career to date, writing: "In the following years the Brit's modelling career has gone from strength to strength, most notably: becoming the face of Marc Jacobs Beauty in 2018 at the age of 16, taking her first solo cover on Dazed Magazine [owned by her father] in the same year, and starring in Miu Miu's SS20 campaign.

“Finally, the famous offspring has made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week, opening for Miu Miu's SS21 show.”
