Michelle Mone’s Belgravia townhouse has sold to 20-year-old racing car driver Freddie Tomlinson for £17.8 million - £5 million less than its asking price.
The six-bedroom Georgian property - on one of the area’s most exclusive addresses - was put on the market for £23 million in 2022. The property had been owned by companies linked to her husband Doug Barrowman.
In 2023, Mone admitted that her family had gained tens of millions of pounds in profit from PPE sold to the government during the pandemic by PPE Medpro, a company led by her husband.
In October 2025, PPE Medpro lost its High Court battle and was ordered to repay £122 million for supplying faulty PPE gowns in the early stages of the pandemic.
As part of a separate investigation by the National Crime Agency, £75 million of Mone and Barrowman’s assets —including the Belgravia townhouse— were frozen or restrained under a court order in 2023.
Barrowman criticised the High Court judgment, saying documentation is now available that proves the gowns were properly sterilised.
Mone, meanwhile, described the ruling as "nothing less than an establishment win for the government in a case that was too big to lose".
Land Registry documents show that Tomlinson, whose father is worth an estimated £525 million according to the Sunday Times Rich List, bought the house in October 2023 under his own name for £17.8 million.
Included in the sale was the adjoining mews house, which shares the same title deeds.
Tomlinson’s father, the businessman Lawrence Tomlinson, took out a mortgage to pay for the property, the title deeds show.
According to the Land Registry, the property was last sold in 1997.
Mone’s former home, previous listings show, covered more than 6,000 square feet over seven floors.
It was extended and “lavishly and meticulously” modernised, which included the installation of a full home digital automation system, premium air conditioning and comfort cooling and a “top-of-the-line” Sub Zero and Wolf kitchen – although, with a separate chef’s kitchen, the owners may never have used it.
Luxury features include a 25-foot swimming pool located in the basement, alongside a jacuzzi, steam room and fully equipped gym.
There’s also a cinema room, wine cellar —equipped with humidity-controlled cigar storage— off-street parking for two cars and a courtyard terrace.
Planning documents show that in 2015, permission was granted to perform a raft of improvements on the property, which included replacing almost all the doors in the house, alongside the cornices, architraves and skirting.
A dumb waiter was installed in the kitchen to transport food throughout the house, and the original stone staircase was refurbished.
To complement the property’s high ceilings and large Georgian windows, solid parquet wood floors, marble tiling in the bathrooms and designer fixtures and fittings were added.
Some of the interior choices are more unusual: a black, panelled office, adjoining the dining room, for example, or the “garden atrium” with a towering water feature.
Mone and Barrowman also own a country estate on the Isle of Man and a £9m townhouse in Belgravia, which were both searched by the National Crime Agency in 2022, and among the couple’s assets to be frozen the following year.
* Update (14 October 2025): An earlier version of this article suggested that the property was owned by Baroness Mone and that she had been involved in its subsequent refurbishment. Representatives of Baroness Mone and Mr Barrowman contacted The Standard following publication of this article. They explained that the property was purchased in 2015 by companies linked to Mr Barrowman and was not owned by Baroness Mone. They said that the purchase and subsequent refurbishment took place prior to the beginning of Mr Barrowman and Baroness Mone’s relationship. The article has been updated to reflect this information.
