☆ London’s Luxury Home Market Has Been Dragging for Years. These Sellers Are Diving In Anyway.

Lesley and Johan Denekamp are keenly aware that now isn’t a great time to be selling real estate in central London. Nonetheless, in September, they went ahead and listed their 3,800-square-foot townhouse with Knight Frank, for $5 million. The couple are sick of waiting, having already sat out Brexit and the pandemic. “We don’t think we are going to live forever, and four million pounds is a lot of money to have tied up in a house we don’t really need,” said Johan Denekamp.

During its more than 500-year history, the White Lion Hotel has played many roles; as a coaching inn, a venue for upmarket balls and parties, a provincial theater, and now as a house. The driving force behind its latest incarnation as a family home is John Hensley, who bought the building 17 years ago, for about $291,000. The building stands in the small market town of Eye, which is in the county of Suffolk, about 100 miles east of central London.

“We wanted to lay Caithness stone flagstones and we looked and we looked, but we couldn’t find what we wanted,” said Ellington. “One day we were driving past a farm, and we saw a barn with these huge flagstones on the roof. They were being used as roof tiles. Marc talked to the farmer, and he agreed we could have them for the price of a new tin roof for the barn.”

Moving to Scotland in the late 1960s was a culture shock for Karen and Marc Ellington. The young couple fled their home in Oregon so Marc Ellington could avoid the Vietnam War draft. Much about their new country seemed strange: the food, the accents, and what they saw as a casual disregard for Scotland’s landmark buildings.

The weather in Wales is notoriously wild and windy, and Tracey and Paul Morris’s family home by the sea was feeling the strain. Decades of wind and rain rolling in from the North Atlantic Ocean had left the 1920s house suffering from damp and both wet and dry rot. After a section of its roof blew off during a gale, they decided to cut their losses, and replace it with something much more durable. “A fortress was what we wanted. Something really robust, with clean lines and open-plan space,” said Mrs. Morris.

From the street, Anne Spratling and John Ayris’s home looks like a classic English country house. But its backyard holds a secret. The couple have doubled the size of their roughly 200-year-old house by wrapping a pair of ultramodern additions around it. Ms. Spratling, 56, and Mr. Ayris, 55, bought Vicarage Farm, a late Georgian-era farmhouse set on 8 acres of land, in 2015. The house is in a village around 4 miles from the English seaside town of Hythe and about 65 miles southeast of central London.

Annie Heyworth lives in the beautiful English countryside but has always yearned to live on the water. To achieve her ambition, she didn’t have to move mountains, just several hundreds of tons of earth. Mrs. Heyworth, an artist, and her partner, Tim Healy, an endoscopist, are home builders who went to extremes to create a dream home in a dream setting. The long, low contemporary house they built stands on metal stilts so that it appears to float gently above a newly dug pond next to it.

There was a time when being a property millionaire, with a home worth north of £1 million—or about $1.186 million—meant something in the British capital. Today, not so much. The average resale home, not including new builds, in London has a sale price of £537,510, or roughly $637,200, according to British government data. But owning a seven-figure property in the nation’s capital is becoming increasingly commonplace. According to research by estate agent Hamptons, the average sale price of homes in 41% of all London’s 283 postal codes was £1 million or more as of November 2022.

Rochelle Westropp has similar recollections of idyllic summers spent at The Warren, the West London riverside house she, her mother and her grandmother all grew up in.

Elena Miroglio and Paul Grobler dreamed of a house in the countryside. But the little taste of wilderness that they imagined for themselves wasn’t easy to find in Piedmont, one of Italy’s most important wine-producing regions. According to the local tourist office, there are some 250,000 acres of vineyards, as well as olive groves and hazelnut farms in this section of northern Italy. “They are completely man-made, and not what we wanted,” said Ms. Miroglio, 52, who is the president of Miroglio Fashion SRL.
