Kate Moss Buys Fashionable New London Home

Supermodel Kate Moss recently plunked down $7.5 million pounds for this posh Highgate estate. She will reportedly be cohabitating with rocker boyfriend, Jaime Hince of The Kills. Highgate is known for housing some of Britains hottest stars, and Mosss neighbors will include Jude Law, Sienna Miller, Sting and Trudy Styler, and sometimes residents Pierce Brosnanand George Michael. Doesnt sound like a bad little welcoming party, does it?

The house itself is something of a literary manse. In the early 19th Century, Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge was in residence at the estate, where he famously smoked himself into a slow, tragic opium stupor. He died in the home in 1834. Later, novelist J.B. Priestly lived in the home, but apparently his time there was less dramatic than Mr. Coleridges.

The mansion boasts 7 bedrooms, 7 fireplaces, 2 kitchens, and 4.5 bathrooms. Theres also a generously-sized wine cellar on the premises and a study called the Coleridge Room, where perhaps Miss Moss or Mr. Hince will pen their own drug-fueled literary masterpiece.
