The former North London home of U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has found a buyer less than six months after going on the market.
The Islington townhouse, listed for £3.75 million (US$4.8 million), sold in September, according to listing records, but the buyer’s identity and final sale price have not yet been released to the public.

Records show that Johnson bought the home with his then-wife, Marina, for £2.3 million in 2009. Last year, the couple announced their separation.
A day before his predecessor Theresa May stepped down, Mr. Johnson announced he would run for the top government job.
This five-story house dates back to 1841 and is set behind cast-iron railings at the end of a terrace row. According to the listing with Chestertons, the home spans 3,000 square feet and combines the elegance of a Georgian house with the convenience of modern finishes.
The listing said the house has four bedrooms, sash windows, a private terrace, views of the Regent’s Canal, two studies, and a garden.
