Huw Edwards lists six-bedroom home for £4.75million after child abuse images conviction

Former BBC newsreader, Huw Edwards, was given six months imprisonment, suspended for two years, in September after he pleaded guilty to having made indecent images of children

Huw Edwards has put his family's £4.75 million home in London up for sale, according to reports.

The disgraced BBC newsreader, 63, was given six months imprisonment, suspended for two years, in September after he pleaded guilty to having made indecent images of children.

Edwards, who is now without his hefty £475,000 BBC salary after resigning in April following medical advice, moved out of the family home he shared with wife, Vicky Flind and their five kids, when the scandal broke. Now, the property nestled in south London is said to be on the market.

Vicky and Huw bought the palatial pad for £1.85m in 2006. The home is for sale on Right Move and is described as a 'substantial detached mid century family house'.

The advert, reports the Mail, says the property is: 'Set on one of [the area's] most desirable residential roads, this substantial six double bedroom detached mid century family house. The property has been tastefully renovated and extended by the current owners and with a gross internal area of 4239 sq ft offers extensive living accommodation arranged over three floors."

It continues: "The ground floor has a spacious reception hall, three reception rooms, recently re-fitted kitchen/dining room, office/library, cloakroom, utility room and downstairs WC. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom and separate dressing room and a family bathroom. The second floor has two double bedrooms and a bathroom. Externally to the front there is a drive providing off street parking for several vehicles and access to a double length garage. To the rear there is a most delightful, mature garden measuring 75'x69."

The advert also gives a peak inside the home, including a pool table and a piano. The property also has a sprawling garden, with a trampoline.

The news comes less than a month after the once revered Welsh journalist was given a suspended jail sentence. Edwards appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court in September for sentencing after he pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children in July. The disgraced presenter was given just six months imprisonment, suspended for two years, with a requirement to complete a sex offender programme.

Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring also declined to make him the subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, saying he "did not pose a risk to the public". He said, however, that Edwards would be on the Sexual Offenders' Register for seven years.

Mr Goldspring told the ex-News at Ten presenter: "The impact of child sexual abuse can be severe and lifelong." He then told Edwards his "reputation is in tatters," while starting his sentencing remarks. Mr Goldspring said: "Perhaps it does not need saying that you are of previous good character having enjoyed a very successful career in the media You were highly regarded for your dedication and professionalism, perhaps the most recognised journalist in the UK. Your reputation is in tatters."
