Talk show host Graham Norton’s ‘jewel box’ carriage house on a secret Murray Hill mews asks $5.6M

The tiny, close-ended Sniffen Court Mews in the midst of Manhattan’s Murray Hill neighborhood is magical even without celebrity cachet. It’s one of the city’s smallest historic districts, one of those NYC places where you feel like you’ve completely stepped away from the city altogether. Irish comedian and talk show host Graham Norton’s carriage house at 6 Sniffen Court is one of 10 former horse stables built on the mews during the Civil War. Asking $5,595,000, the home is described by Norton in a New York Times feature as a “jewel box of a carriage house.” The 20-foot-wide home’s interiors aren’t the slightest bit old-fashioned: A fabulous renovation by Gachot Studio and a landscaped roof deck are a design-lover’s dream within this private paradise.

As the Times reports, the carriage house is the former home of model Claudia Schiffer, who sold it to Norton, who hosts the BBC’s “The Graham Norton Show.” Norton had planned to retire in NYC, but a marriage to Jono McLeod, a Scottish filmmaker, in 2022, took those plans back overseas.
