We love watching George Clarke help members of the public transform their homes, on shows like Beautiful Builds, The Restoration Man and George Clarke's Amazing Spaces, but what about his own abode? It's not surprising to learn that George is no stranger to a fixer-upper, using his DIY skills inside his own residence. The star owns a stunning period property in Notting Hill, and over many years he has transformed it to suit his exact needs. He even enlisted the help of his children to build a shed in the garden. Take a look around his private home - and prepare to be amazed!

The Sunderland native is an expert in breathing new life into unused and unloved buildings, transforming local landmarks and creating unique family homes. And away from the cameras, the renovation pro has spent years putting his mark on a stunning Edwardian property in London.

George prefers to keep his London home, shared with his girlfriend and three children from his first marriage, Emilio, George and Iona, largely out of the spotlight. 

Over the years, he's shared a handful of glimpses at his stunning property on Instagram, keep scrolling to take a peek inside…

 Inside George Clarke's Notting Hill property

George purchased a 1910-built Edwardian property in London's upscale Notting Hill back in 2015; one of the city's most desirable boroughs that has previously played host to Elton John, Simon Cowell and Stella McCartney.

True to character, the TV architect reportedly ripped out the interior of the home, gutting the property and rebuilding a lavish modern abode in its place.

While George is said to have kept much of the home's original charm, it only makes sense that the professional property developer gave himself a project.

Doting dad George is clearly keen to get his children involved in building and architecture. During 2020 the father-of-three posted a series of images on his Instagram of his sons building a shed during lockdown.

He told Andi Peters on ITV’s Lorraine: "I've almost thrown them in at the deep end to be honest with you. I think the sooner you get your kids building and doing stuff, the better."

He added: "I think the sooner you teach them the safer it is, getting them to learn how to use tools in a really safe way and hammers and power tools and stuff like that, the earlier they start the better.

"So they got to work on the garden shed which was fantastic."
