Story summary

The parents of A-list actress Florence Pugh, Clinton Pugh and Deborah Mackin, are selling their Grade II-listed former agricultural barn in Oxfordshire for £1.65 million. They originally purchased the property west of Oxford in October 2011 for £950,000. The home, which features impressive beamed and vaulted ceilings with far-reaching views of nearby fields, is now on the market as Florence and one of her sisters have moved out. One potential reason for downsizing could be that their son, musician Toby Sebastian, who has lived in an annexe within the grounds since they moved in, recently had a baby and may need more space for his family. Florence's climb to fame began with films like "Lady Macbeth" and "Little Women."

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

🔮 One consideration may be that their son, the musician Toby Sebastian, has lived in an annexe in the grounds since they moved in, but recently had a baby with his wife Scarlet Alexandra so may himself want more space for his family.
🔮 Lauren was rushed to intensive care but a scan revealed that she had suffered a hypoxic brain injury and doctors advised her parents that there was a high chance she wouldn’t survive.
🔮 Marine units with thermal imaging cameras were scrambled to the area but could not locate him, and his body eventually surfaced four days later close to the Grosvenor Bridge in central London.

But the family returned three years later as her health issues improved and Clinton Pugh has run a number of restaurants in Oxford, where he has been an outspoken critic of the city council's low traffic policies.
