The mock Tudor mansion where notorious gangster Kenneth Noye stabbed to death an undercover police officer has been sold for £2.5 million.
The property, set in 20 acres in West Kingsdown, was reportedly sold by the wife of Michael Anderson, the former Gillingham FC vice chairman who was accused of a multi-million fraud in the United States.
Former owner Noye used the manor house to conceal bullion stolen in the £26 million Brink’s-Mat robbery.
In 1985, he killed Det Con John Fordham in the grounds but was acquitted of his murder.
Noye murdered Stephen Cameron, 21, a road rage row on a slip road of the M25, near Swanley in 1996.
Now aged 76, he was behind bars for nearly 19 years and was freed in 2019.
The Brink’s-Mat heist and Noye’s involvement has recently been featured in the BBC’s The Gold drama.
Attempts to extradite businessman Michael Anderson to America were rejected in June last year after a court found the bid to be “disproportionate”.
Anderson, whose last address was in West Malling, could face up to 60 years in prison if found guilty of conspiring to defraud a US government healthcare scheme for members and veterans of the armed forces and their families.
