Prestigious London mews address that Sir Michael Caine lived at when he filmed Alfie and Get Carter comes onto the market for £5m

The Swinging Sixties London of Alfie is long gone, as are the grim and gritty streets of Get Carter.

But wealthy home-hunters can nevertheless get a slice of the 1960s life of Sir Michael Caine - because the British movie great's former London home has just come on to the market.

The terraced property near Hyde Park, which was originally two mews houses but has since been merged, is available for anyone with £4.95m to spare.

Sir Michael lived in the now-exclusive Albion Close while he made some of his best-known films, and it is an enviable location: a short stroll from Park Lane, and set behind a brick façade on a pretty cobbled street.

The actor's former mews home in a private gated development in London is available to buy for almost £5m

The property has all the requirements of a Hollywood actor, including large rooms and an integrated entertainment system

Joe Le Beau, sales manager at estate agent Kay & Co in Hyde Park, said: 'Of the 339 mews in London, just 8.5 per cent are gated, making this lovely home an extremely rare opportunity for a potential buyer looking for a spacious and private home in the heart of London. Albion Close has a village-like feel and is one of the quietest places to live in London, creating a peaceful and quaint setting in which to live.'

The interior has all the requirements of a Hollywood movie star, including oak flooring, air conditioning, a Sonos sound system and a designer kitchen.

There are four generously sized bedrooms, fitted with bespoke wardrobes and either an ensuite bathroom or shower room. The master bedroom also has a walk-in wardrobe.

The property is spread across three floors, with a library and a study area on the first floor. The space can be converted into a fifth bedroom, according to agents, by simply sliding the bookcase away to reveal a hideaway bed.

There are a dozen houses in Albion Close, which is close to Marble Arch and Oxford Street. The property is on the market for £4,950,000. 

Sir Michael lived at the property in the 1960s, but today the property has a modern feel, with wood flooring, air conditioning and new double glazed windows

The house is ideal for families looking for a spacious home in the centre of London near Hyde Park - and with a lot of cash to spare

A large and colourful library on the first floor is separated from the rest of the house by glass sliding doors, providing a quiet space to study

The library has a sliding bookcase, which reveals a hideaway bed that turns the room into a fifth guest bedroom

The property is on a private cobbled street, making it 'one of the quietest places to live in London', according to estate agents

Caine lived at the London house during the 1960s - the decade that saw him star in several films, including The Italian Job

The designer kitchen - with Gaggenau and Miele appliances, including a wine fridge - overlooks a luxury dining and seating area. 

All of the four bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms or shower rooms, while the master suite also has a walk-in wardrobe
