AS a former home of Bill Clinton and Howard Marks, one Oxford house has been the favoured dwelling of two of the city's most famous "rogues".

Now house hunters who fancy themselves as the heir to the pair's sometimes scandalous legacies can follow in their footsteps – if they have a spare £4,000 a month.

From 1968 to 1970, the 42nd President of the United States lived at 46 Leckford Road during his time as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, followed later by the notorious drug smuggler.

The home is now back on the market, offering up a chance to live in the same home as a US President, a luxury normally only afforded to residents of the White House.

The four-bedroom house, complete with a towering plant in its front garden, hosted Mr Clinton while he studied at University College while Mr Marks, who passed away in April, reportedly lived there while on bail.

Oxford tour guide Rob Walters, who lives just off Leckford Road, researched the history of the house for his new book Naughty Boys: Ten Rogues of Oxford, which features both Mr Clinton and Mr Marks.

He said: "The house looks really interesting, the plant in the front garden is right up to the top window.

"When I was doing my research and I found out both Bill Clinton and Howard Marks live there, I thought it was remarkable.

"I go running down past the house and you get used to running past and not looking too closely and then I made this sudden discovery.

"Howard lived there while he was on bail.

"I often mention the house in my tours because of the rogues who have lived there and people are really interested by its past."

Mr Clinton shared the home with Frank Aller and his girlfriend Jan Brenning, American journalist David Satter and Strobe Talbott – who went on to serve as his deputy secretary of state between 1994 and 2001.

Mr Walters said Mr Clinton's time at Oxford included a few incidents that might seem familiar to people who associate him with his infamous liaison with intern Monica Lewinski in the 1990s.

He said: "When Bill was at Oxford he went to a lecture by Germaine Greer, when she was at the peak of her women's liberation side of things.

"She spoke about why women shouldn't sleep with middle class men and should go for lorry drivers and things like that.

"Bill got up at the end and told her if she changed her mind about lorry drivers and wanted a more middle class man then he could give her his number."

Within nine years of leaving Leckford Road, Mr Clinton had become Governor of Arkansas and went on to take up residency in the Oval Office in 1993.

Howard Marks on the other hand went on to spend seven years in Terre Haute prison in Indiana, where he reportedly tried to use his Leckford Road years as a bargaining chip.

Mr Walters said: "By my definitions they are both rogues of Oxford, there is a sort of naughty-but-nice definition, which suits them both well I think."
