Workmen were pictured completing the final stages of renovations at the luxurious property ahead of the arrival of the Rees-Moggs.

And then a removal van showed up to load the Conservative Party politician's possessions into this ritzy new home.

Rees-Mogg is estimated to have a net worth of £100 million and is considered a favourite to be the next Prime Minister.

His new digs were until recently the political HQ of pollster Lord Ashcroft – and are just five minutes from the House of Commons.

Other items shipped into the property included a vintage-looking pram, some ornate dining chairs and various shrubs.

Beds, a dishwasher, and a cardboard box marked “hanging garment carrier” were also moved into the new home.
