RESIGNED: Now Boris Johnson can enjoy his property portfolio | WATCH

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson was born on 19 June 1964 in New York City. Moving around as a young boy, Johnson lived in London and also Brussels before attending Eton College, and later Balliol College at Oxford University. In 1987, aged 23 he started as a reporter for The Times and forged a career in the industry, eventually becoming editor of The Spectator in 1999.

In 1994, Boris’ father, Stanley Johnson bought this four-bedroom Georgian townhouse, following time in Brussels and Oxford. Stanley lived in the home for 10 years with his second wife, Jenny, and their two youngest children, Julia and Max. Although not lived in by Boris, the home was the base of his successful bid to become London Mayor in 2008. As a child in the 1970s, Johnson lived in Primrose Hill, London and attended a local primary school with political rivals, Ed and David Milliband.

In 2003, in the midst of his role as the editor of The Spectator, Boris snapped up this four-bedroom country house in the quiet hamlet of North Weston, Oxfordshire. The PM paid £640,000 ($895k) for the Grade II-listed pad, which sits at the end of a single track lane surrounded by open fields.

Known as The Old Farm House, the fairytale cottage comes equipped with 2,659 square feet of inside space spread over two floors. There’s a large sitting room, a dining area and a spacious galley kitchen with a tiled stone floor, crisp cream units and wooden counters. There’s even a small breakfast zone at one end, where the new tenant could create a cool coffee station or at-home bar.
