Lisa Armstrong has officially closed the chapter on her marriage to Ant McPartlin, selling the west London property she once shared with the presenter for £3.2 million. The sale marks the final tie to a marriage that ended in 2017, after years of ups and downs for the former couple, who were once one of Britain’s most high-profile TV partnerships.
The five-bedroom home, originally purchased by the pair in 2006 for £2.3 million, was valued at £7–8 million before a devastating fire in September 2023 severely reduced its market worth. After initially renting the property following their split, Lisa finally accepted an offer after several years on the market. Sources told the Daily Mail that Lisa is “delighted that the last remnants of her marriage have been finally put to bed.”
The fire caused over £1 million in damage, leaving several rooms scorched and requiring extensive repairs. The house itself features an 80ft south-facing rear garden, a self-contained garden studio, a gym, and a games/cinema room with a bar area. Photos of the property showcase its spaciousness, greenery, and decking, though some interiors still bear the marks of the blaze.
Lisa was awarded the home as part of her £31 million divorce settlement from Ant in 2020. Following the settlement, she purchased a nearby property, where she currently resides, having put the original marital home up for sale to move on from her past life.
For Ant, life has continued at a fast pace. In February, it was revealed that he had acquired a vast new-build home in an exclusive Surrey enclave for a record price exceeding £10 million, reportedly costing him more than £1 million in stamp duty alone. The area is known for its celebrity residents, including Sir Cliff Richard, Gary Lineker, John Terry, and Stormzy, making it a fitting location for the television star.
Meanwhile, Ant recently sold his luxury Wimbledon home following a planning dispute with neighbours, clearing the way for a fresh start in Surrey. The presenter is also reportedly secure in his career, having signed a £30 million ITV deal with longtime TV partner and friend Declan Donnelly, ensuring his future in entertainment is well-funded.
Although Lisa and Ant have moved on in their separate lives, the pair shared a recent emotional moment last month following the passing of their 12-year-old dog, Hurley. Reports indicate that Ant rushed to join Lisa at the vet hours after attending the Britain’s Got Talent press conference in London. The heartbreaking decision to have Hurley put to sleep was made together, giving the beloved pet a peaceful farewell with both owners by his side.
The property sale brings a sense of closure for Lisa, who has worked hard to distance herself from the public chapters of her past life with Ant. Sources say she is “delighted” to have sold the house, a symbolic step in moving on after nearly a decade of high-profile scrutiny.
For Ant, the sale of the house may also signify a fresh start, but his focus appears to remain firmly on his burgeoning TV projects and his growing family with wife Anne-Marie Corbett. The couple welcomed their first child, Wilder Patrick McPartlin, in May 2024, further cementing Ant’s new chapter.
Lisa Armstrong’s decision to sell the home is a reminder of how the past, no matter how glamorous it appeared, sometimes needs to be fully closed to allow for personal growth and new beginnings. With the proceeds from the sale and her current residence, she is poised to continue building a life independent of the media spotlight that once defined her alongside one of Britain’s most famous television duos.
As the dust settles on the sale, Lisa Armstrong can finally mark an end to a chapter filled with both triumphs and trials, closing the door on her former marriage and embracing her present and future with clarity and autonomy.
