Stephen Hawking’s final home on the market for millions

By Faye Mayern

The stunning Stephen Hawking Cambridge home where astrophysicist Stephen Hawking died is up for sale with a guide price of £2.5 million (more than $3 million).

The five-bedroom property, in the Newnham area of Cambridge, is where Hawking spent his final years until his death at age 76 in 2018.

The detached home, marketed by estate agents Bidwells, is described as "a highly individual and architecturally interesting" with exposed timber beams.

It also has vaulted ceilings, skylights and three reception rooms alongside two bathrooms — including a fireplace, solid oak flooring, and a mature garden.

Occupying a discreet and secluded position within one of Cambridge's most sought-after no-through roads, it sits just a half-mile from the city center.

Hawking spent more than 50 years at the University of Cambridge, arriving in 1962 as a Ph.D. student.

The current owners have refurbished the home, allowing for a study and ground-floor bedroom.

Bidwells added: "The result is a thoughtfully redesigned home that combines architectural interest, historical significance and contemporary accommodation."

The home was previously sold for £2 million (more than $2.5 million) in 2020.
