Pippa Middleton swapped her swanky £17m five-floor mansion for the countryside

Pippa and her husband, James Matthews, previously lived in a stunning six-bedroom house in Chelsea. The home was spread over five floors and was reportedly worth a staggering £17 million. Despite their link to the Royal Family, the couple – who share three children – largely live a private life. As well as six bedrooms, the beautiful home even has its own gym, a room for staff and an underground cinema. In 2016, two years before their wedding , Pippa moved into James’s home. Just a year later, the couple began £1.2 million of renovations. Due to the extent of the renovations, the couple were forced to move out – before they settled back in in 2018. Changes to the home included adding a separate male and female bathroom dressing room, which was linked to the main bedroom, as well as a nursery. In preparation for the summer months, the home also includes air conditioning throughout. In 2020, Pippa gave fans a glimpse inside the home via the Instagram page for Mary Hare School. As ambassador for the school, Pippa smiled as she stood in a festive jumper next to her Christmas tree. But in 2022, Pippa and her family moved into a £15 million home in Berkshire , close to where the Prince and Princess of Wales live now.

The Middletons also live nearby – around a 20-minute drive away from Pippa and her family, meaning her parents are close to both of their daughters. James has also lived in some stunning homes – including an exclusive London-based space which, by 2017, was worth £40 million.
