Cate Blanchett's old home for sale

The Oscar-winning actress had shifted into the Grade I listed townhouse in Brighton a few years ago and had to close off a whole street in order to have the enormous stone bath winched into the house.

Hollywood actress Cate Blanchett's old home, along with a designer bathtub, is up for sale.

The Oscar-winning actress had shifted into the Grade I listed townhouse in Brighton a few years ago and had to close off a whole street in order to have the enormous stone bath winched into the house.

The Elizabeth star, who is living in Sydney now, later sold the house to songwriter Richard Stannard, who has worked with U2, Kylie Minogue, Will Young and Little Boots.

He added to the property by building a sound-proof music studio and recording booth in the basement but is now selling it up for 3.1 million pounds, Daily Express reported.

Blanchett's infamous bathtub is still there, as is the funky red metal staircase she installed.

Other features include suede-covered walls, a home cinema and a tunnel under the road to seven acres of private gardens.
