London Home of Mary Poppins Author P.L. Travers Is On the Market for £4.85 Million
You could enjoy a Jolly Holiday all year round with this London flat previously owned by renowned author P.L. Travers, the author of Mary Poppins. According to a recent real estate listing the London home hit the market last month for a cool £4.85 million.
The flat is located in the highly sought after Chelsea area of London. It features classic iron railings on the outside, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, three terraces and a garden.
Born in Australia, Pamela Lyndon Travers moved to England at the age of 25 and published her first children’s book in 1934 adopting the pen name P.L. Travers. The book was about a nanny with magical powers which was eventually adapted into the 1964 Oscar-winning movie Mary Poppins. The relationship between Travers and Walt was also the subject of the 2013 film Saving Mr. Banks.
The terraced mews house comes in at 2195 square feet and was built in the 19th century. It was purchased by Ms Travers in 1962 after the release of her 5th book. She wrote three more books during her time in the home and lived there until her death in 1996.
The house itself appeared in Saving Mr. Banks and was purchased by the current owners in 2014 for £4.4 million. As you can see from the images above the house has been modernized. It features a front reception room leading to a living room and study where Ms Travers wrote her books. The garden, kitchen, dining room and cinema room can be found on the lower ground floor.
