Film producer selling £6.5m mansion in £15m Cotswolds pad move

Jemima Goldsmith is selling her long-time home almost three decades after she bought it while married to cricketer-turned-politician Mr Imran Khan.

The 52-year-old screenwriter and producer is the daughter of the late financier Sir James Goldsmith and Lady Annabel Goldsmith.

She has become a prominent figure in British public life in her own right, balancing work in film and television with high-profile philanthropic and political interests.

Her move comes as she prepares for a new chapter in her personal life, with plans to divide more of her time between Switzerland and the Cotswolds, according to the Daily Mail.

Friends say she now intends to spend increasing periods at her £15 million Cotswolds manor house, strengthening her existing links to the region and its close-knit rural communities.

The West London property, known as Britannia Studios, was purchased by Ms Goldsmith in 1999 when she was heavily pregnant with her second son.

She was also still married to Mr Khan, who later became prime minister of Pakistan before being jailed on corruption charges.

The five-bedroom house, set on the Chelsea–Fulham border, has served for nearly 30 years as a busy family base for her children and a discreet meeting place for A‑list actors, political heavyweights and cultural figures.

The distinctive home is now on the market for £6.5 million, with those close to Ms Goldsmith suggesting that “empty nest” feelings played a part in her decision once her sons and stepdaughter moved out.

Ms Goldsmith confirmed she had finally chosen to sell, saying that after almost three decades in the property and with her children having left home, she felt the time was right to move on.

Associates describe her decision as driven by a desire for a fresh start as she prepares to marry billionaire financier Mr Cameron O’Reilly, whose family has longstanding links to Ireland and international business.

The property itself has often been compared by visitors to a New York loft rather than a conventional London family house, with a 49ft open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area at its core.

Inside, the interiors have been styled with a mix of “faded grandeur” and relaxed bohemian touches, reflecting Ms Goldsmith’s preference for an informal but elegant family setting.

Friends suggest her emotional attachment to Britannia Studios weakened following the death of her mother, Lady Annabel, in October at the age of 91.

They say the loss marked a natural turning point and contributed to her feeling that the house now belonged more to a past chapter of her life than to the future she is planning.
