Tyson Fury building ‘Grand Designs’ luxury six-bedroom mansion with pool, hot tub, sauna and even a CINEMA
TYSON Fury is transforming a rundown car park into a luxury “Grand Designs” mansion with a swimming pool, hot tub and cinema.
The heavyweight world champion, 35, has applied for planning permission to replace the site with a lavish modern home.
Currently, the property’s estate in Cheshire‘s “Golden Triangle” – popular with celebs and footballers – is overgrown.
It includes a grim-coloured pond and has become a dumping ground for used cars.
Next door, land owned by the Fury family had been used as an airport car park.
Now the boxer wants to demolish the main eight-bedroom dwelling to replace it with a six-bed house complete with a swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and cinema.
Fury is asking to add a two-metre high security fence around the perimeter.
But Cheshire East Council’s heritage and design team consider the proposal to be a potential blight on the landscape.
The council is also unhappy that the Gypsy King wants to chop down so many trees.
It voiced concerns in an email, saying: “The loss of trees and tree groups along the western boundary is of concern, particularly as more trees and tree groups appear to be marked for removal on the landscaping drawing than are stated in the arboricultural impact assessment.”
The email adds: “The proposed boundary treatments include two-metre high walling and fences to all boundaries.
“If there is a particular need for security, the height and dominance of these features in the locality might be understandable but, to retain rural landscape character, these tall blank barriers should be softened.”
Solutions include changing the proposed site’s layout to save trees, or planting new ones, while the security fence could be hidden by an external hedge row.
Previously, Fury’s plans had hit the skids after bats were found roosting in a loft and then he was told birds flocking to his pond or fruit trees maybe a hazard to nearby jets.
Local councillor Chris Hilliard has approved of the plans and hope it improves the property and area, which has been blighted by the car parking issue.
He says: “Styal has been affected by several issues over the years. One of those issues is exceptionally apparent on this property and Moss Lane as a whole.
“What were family properties or small industrious businesses have become car parking for the airport.
“Many of this type of establishment have a very dubious reputation, with damage to vehicles, proprietors taking vehicles into local towns and leaving them for weeks, and a disregard for the local community.
“It is obvious that this site is badly in need of redevelopment, and the property as drawn would be a large improvement over the current property on this plot.
Tyson Fury's life outside of boxing
A WORLD heavyweight champion inside the ring, Tyson Fury also has a colourful life away from his mega fights.
The hit Netflix show At Home With The Furys gave an insight into his day-to-day activities away from boxing.
The Gypsy King is believed to have punched his way to a career haul of nearly £200million.
Fury and his seven kids currently reside in a plush house worth a whopping £1.7m.
He swapped his £550,000 home that overlooked Morecambe Bay for the mansion located in the same area.
Wife Paris, 34, often gives us a glimpse into her fab property by sharing snaps on Instagram.
The home featured heavily in the Netflix show At Home with the Furys, which offered fans a glimpse inside the chaotic and full-on life of Britain’s top heavyweight boxer.
Season one offered a glimpse into his fight preparations ahead of a showdown with Derek Chisora in December 2022.
And Fury also has an absolute monster collection of motors he has been seen behind the wheel of.
Most recently, he added a stunning customised Porsche GT3 RS worth over £200,000 to his car collection.
He is also said to own several Rolex watches, flashing a £60,000 diamond-laden 18ct timepiece from the brand as he prepared for his fight with Whyte.
“The plans would allow for the improvement of the landscape, a potential increase in biodiversity, and the removal of invasive species.”
In December, Fury and his two brothers John Jr and Shane landed in hot water with the courts for renting out a car park on their land.
Dad John was at Chester Magistrates’ Court to defend his sons.
He said he had signed a lease agreement with a valet company and they had done nothing wrong by failing to cough up £82,166 to the council for a car park, which adjoins his house in Styal.
The court also heard he handed ownership of the land to his sons – who are worth over £134 million – following a “fight with the wife 20 years ago”.
John Sr said: “I didn’t even have to be here but I’ve come here today to tell you the boys have nothing to do with anything of it, especially Tyson.
“It’s ridiculous when you’re paying millions of pounds in taxes. He hasn’t lived at that address for 18 years.
“All I’ve done is rent a piece of land out. I have no understanding of any kind of business or what they do.
“It was just an empty yard, that’s all I’ve ever done.”
But District Judge Mr John McGarva ordered the three brothers to pay the business rates bill plus court costs of £17,206 – totalling nearly £100k.
