The gleaming white modern kitchen at the property which is based in Ennismore Gardens, London where Gardner, who famously starred in The Killers, The Barefoot Contessa, 55 Days at Peking and The Night of the Iguana, lived until her death in 1990 . It is based in the high-end Ennismore Gardens, London where Gardner, who famously starred in The Killers, The Barefoot Contessa, 55 Days at Peking and The Night of the Iguana, lived from 1968 - after her three failed marriages, to Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw and Frank Sinatra -  until her death in 1990. Homes along Ennismore Gardens have a long history, built in 1870 as part of the redevelopment of Kingston House, a Palladian mansion dating back to the 18th Century, belonging to Elizabeth Chudleigh, Duchess of Kingston. The mansion and its estate was later sold to William Hare, Baron of Ennismore, in 1837, but was sold off for development following his death, with the street and private gardens named to commemorate him. Once completed the five-storey homes along Ennismore Gardens, designed with Porticos and Corinthian Columns, commanded a premium of £17,000 per year. The pin-up girl of her era, Ava Gardner (right) was listed 25th among the American Film Institute's Greatest Female Stars in the 1950s with high-profile marriages to Mickey Rooney and Frank Sinatra (pictured with Ava, left) Gardner, pictured at her Knightsbridge flat in the same building was once quoted as saying 'I love the history and grandeur of my little London retreat, some say it is too big for me alone, but I love the space' Once described as 'the most irresistible woman in Hollywood', Ava Gardner became one of the pin-up girls in the 1950s. High-profile roles in in films such as the Hucksters (1947), Show Boat (1951) and The Night of the Iguana (1964) catapulted her into the limelight. But her off-screen life was often as dramatic as the roles she played, with marriages to Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw and Frank Sinatra. She was said to have been the only woman who could ever tame the notorious playboy Sinatra. After they met he told Ava: ‘All my life, being a singer was the most important thing in the world. Now you’re all I want.’ The pair married in 1951 but it was tumultuous. Ava was a diva with a soul whose turbulence equalled his own. Both ­harboured profound feelings of ­worthlessness, which expressed ­themselves in volcanic furies. ‘We were high-strung people,’ she said. ‘Possessive, jealous and liable to explode fast. When I lose my temper, you can’t find it any place. He’s the same.’ Like him, she was infinitely restless and easily bored. In both, this tendency could lead to casual cruelty to others —and to each other. They quarrelled ­constantly. Friends whose house the lovers met in recalled how Ava would scream at Frank and he would slam the door and storm downstairs. Eventually the couple split in 1957. She later moved to London where she was to pass away on January 25, 1990, at age 67. She is listed 25th among the American Film Institute's Greatest Female Stars.
