LONDON — A two bedroom Chelsea flat that belonged to late UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has gone on sale for £1.2 million.
Located at 112 Swan Court, just off the King's Road, the 1,173-square-foot sixth-floor apartment was the home of Margaret and Denis Thatcher after they married in December 1951, according to letting agents Strutt & Parker.
They took up residence in 1953, according to The Telegraph, and it was while living there that Margaret decided to focus on a career in politics, according to a historical letter written from the apartment. The couple also raised their twins, Carol and Mark, at the flat.
Advertised as "larger than normal," the flat is "in need of complete refurbishment and provides a wonderful opportunity for an incoming purchaser to create either a three bedroom two bathroom property, subject to the necessary consents, or an opulent two bedroom apartment," the ad states.
The flat is close to shops and restaurants on King's Road and the open spaces of Battersea Park. It is equal distance to Sloane Square and South Kensington underground stations.
The red brick building, which has a 24-hour porterage, offers a lift which leads up to the flat.
The flat boasts a spacious reception room.

While still pricy, it is nothing compared to the Prime Minister's former £30 million home in Belgravia, where she lived for 22 years.
