Pink Floyd's David Gilmour to sell his Hove mansion for £15m

The 76-year-old and his wife Polly, 60, have owned the Hove property - originally a 19th-century bathhouse, since 2015.

Planning permission to demolish the original building, dating back to 1894, was granted in 2017 after the structure was found to be beyond repair, with the new home completed towards the end of 2020.

The new property, designed by award-winning architect Keb Gavarito-Bruhn, was based on the former Turkish baths which had become derelict for many years, after Mr Gilmour agreed to replace the historic building with one that reflected the original spirit of the bathhouse.

The home is considered to be one of the most expensive in the city, boasting views out to the English Channel, a state-of-the-art recording studio, and log-burning and gas-operated open fires.

The property is near “Millionaire's Row” at the end of Western Esplanade in Hove, where stars including Fatboy Slim, Adele and David Walliams have all been resident in the past.

Born in Cambridge, Mr Gilmour has lived in Sussex for many years and currently lives with his family on a farm in Wisborough Green, near Horsham.

Pink Floyd recently released their first new material for almost three decades to support refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine.

Mr Gilmour, who has a Ukrainian daughter-in-law, said back in April: “We, like so many, have been feeling the fury and the frustration of this vile act of an independent, peaceful democratic country being invaded and having its people murdered by one of the world’s major powers.

“We want to express our support for Ukraine, and in that way show that most of the world thinks that it is totally wrong for a superpower to invade the independent democratic country that Ukraine has become.”

The song, “Hey Hey, Rise Up”, features the musician, along with Nick Mason, long-time collaborator and bass player Guy Pratt and musician Nitin Sawhney on keyboard.

Proceeds from the song are being donated to the charity Ukrainian Humanitarian Relief.
