This marks the third Australian property the couple have sold in the past four years, as they now reside permanently in a $6million English manor, Highwell House, in East Sussex. 

The more than 400 square-metre apartment features five bedrooms and four bathrooms, and a modern kitchen with on-trend stainless steel appliances and finishes.  

The dwelling was originally built as four separate units, which were redeveloped into a two-storey apartment mansion by Australian comedian Barry Humphries, and later businessman Mark Bouris.
