Apprentice star Karren Brady is selling her sprawling London townhouse for £10.5million – £4million more than she paid for it just two years ago.
The magnificent part stucco-fronted Grade II listed home is just off Eaton Square in the exclusive Belgravia district.
Baroness Brady – West Ham United’s vice chair – bought the five storey property for £6.4million in 2018 and immediately set about making some renovations, including a basement excavation under the rebuilt rear extension to create a kitchen diner and ‘family room’.

Other improvements included installing new ceramic and stone tile floors with ‘wet’ underfloor heating and kitting out the home’s four bathrooms with electric underfloor heating.
She also secured permission for the installation of a satellite dish, which was to be mounted on a chimney so as to be hidden from street view.
The plush pad – a five minute walk from Sloane Square tube station – boasts four bedrooms, a cream coloured staircase and two reception rooms as well as a ground floor bar.

Upmarket estate agents are selling the property which has 124 years left on the lease. A spokesman today confirmed the property belonged to Baroness Brady but declined to comment further as she had requested privacy during its sale.
However, she has used the home – and its tasteful interior – for photoshoots in the past.
Baroness Brady was made a life peer by then Prime Minister David Cameron, entering the House of Lords in 2014, and received a CBE from the Queen for her services to business.

She became Alan Sugar’s assistant on BBC1 series The Apprentice in 2009 replacing Margaret Mountford.
Last year Baroness Brady, 51, posed in front of the living room’s huge marble fire place for the Daily Mail’s Weekend magazine, showing off treasured personal items including her House of Lords seal, given to her in 2014, and a cherished wedding photo.
Her daughter Sophia, a 22-year-old fashion influencer, also regularly provides regular snapshots inside the property on her Instagram page, including the well-stocked bar filled with bottles of whisky, gin and brandy.
The refurbishment work was completed by renowned interior designer Nicola Fontanella

The seller’s website said: ‘The house has the added luxury of a the south facing garden, an elegant drawing room and a sizeable garage.’
Baroness Brady was born and brought up ten miles away in the less salubrious surroundings of Edmonton in North London.
She moved to the West Midlands in 1993 when, at the tender age of 23, became the chairman of Birmingham City after encouraging her boss, the publisher David Sullivan, to buy the football club.

She later married Birmingham player Paul Peschisolido, a Canada international, with whom she has two children.
Baroness Brady left the club in 2009 and the following year took over at West Ham United with Sullivan and David Gold.
That same year she was unveiled as Sir Alan Sugar’s new assistant on BBC1’s The Apprentice, having previously appeared as a celebrity contestant and guest interviewer.
In 2019 she was made chairman of Taveta, the company behind Sir Philip Green’s empire.
