Despite previously complaining about 'only' earning £160,000, Boris Johnson has bought a multi-million pound mansion. The best part is, the £3,800,000 Manor has a moat to keep people out.
Boris JohnsonIt's been reported Mr Johnson even negotiated £200,000 off the asking price, buying the nine-bedroom home for a cool £3.8 million.
This is despite complaining that as both prime minister and an MP he couldn't get by on a combined salary of £164,080., and the sale is said to have gone through just weeks before BBC chairman Richard Sharp resigned over his role in helping Mr Johnson secure an £800,000 loan. The manor, located in the Oxfordshire countryside, dates back to the 1600s and has Tudor and Georgian features.
However the house is still surrounded on three sides by a 900-year-old moat, which dates back to when a castle originally stood on the site, built by King Stephen.It stands on just under five acres of land which also features a guest cottage, a garage, a tennis court and stables.The house has heaps of character
It's understood Mr Johnson and wife Carrie saw the property online and then viewed it twice in person.
