The former family home of killer police officer Wayne Couzens has gone back on the market for £280,000 – complete with a garden hot tub.
Couzens, a one-time member of the Metropolitan Police Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command (PaDP), is serving a whole life sentence for the kidnap, rape and murder of 33-year-old Sarah Everard in March 2021.
The disgraced ex-officer shared the three-bedroom terraced property in Deal, Kent with his wife, Olena, and their two children for five years.
Originally purchased in 2016 for £200,000, the home was first listed at £300,000 but is now back on Rightmove for £280,000 after a sale reportedly fell through.
According to the listing, the house features:
- Three double bedrooms
- A modern kitchen, bathroom and log burner
- A rear garden overlooking fields, with a hot tub added by Couzens
- A paved driveway and garage
Police arrested Couzens at the property days after Sarah Everard’s disappearance. Bodycam footage later showed officers detaining him inside the family home.
The case shocked the nation after Couzens used his police ID and handcuffs to stage a fake arrest during Covid lockdown rules, before abducting Sarah near Clapham Common.
In June this year, Couzens was controversially transferred from HMP Frankland to an NHS hospital for a lumbar procedure, sparking criticism over the £17,000 estimated cost of the operation and his apparent ability to skip NHS waiting times.
The Deal home, marketed as an “ideal family house,” has already drawn attention online given its chilling association with one of the UK’s most high-profile murder cases.

Would you like me to also draft a shorter sidebar piece focusing just on the controversy over the NHS treatment costs for Couzens, since that angle seems to be picking up traction politically?
