Rock icon Sting is reportedly ready to sell up his £15million London mansion as he prepares to spend more time in his New York penthouse.

The star is set to make a cool £10m profit on the luxury home, which is a stone's throw from Downing Street and Buckingham Palace, after buying it for £5.7m 11 years ago.

Its nine bedrooms are decorated lavishly, and it also boasts six bathrooms and two hugely spacious living areas.

The Police singer bought the home with his wife Trudie Styler from former Conservative MP Shaun Woodward, who defected to Labour in 2001.

With views over St James' Park, the Grade I listed building represented a valuable addition to Sting's property portfolio. He also boasts homes in New York and Tuscany.

Sellers Knight Frank say it sits in one of London's most "aesthetically attractive" streets of Georgian architecture, Queen Anne's Gate.

Its description adds: "This stylish house is presented in immaculate condition and benefits from exceptional entertaining and living space with views directly overlooking St James’s Park, the most impressive of London’s Royal Parks.

"The exquisite and good sized gardens also provide direct access to Birdcage Walk and then onto St James’s Park."

Sting, who is originally from Wallsend in Newcastle, is best known for hits including Roxanne, with his band The Police, and solo hit Englishman in New York.
