UKs’ St Tropez..A Mega Mansion Theme Park For Celebs
We Live in UKs’ St Tropez… It's Become a Mega Mansion Theme Park For Celebs
BBC 24 OCT 2023
Mega-mansions are being built and renovated in Rock, Cornwall
Gordon Ramsay shows off his pool in the area...
The house Ramsay has demolished in Rock
Gordon Ramsay Mega-Mansion in Rock was built from scratch after
the approved demolition of the original building on the site. Bought at a whooping price of £4.4 million in 2015, this is one of Gordons’ quintessential houses. The property comprises a main house and a smaller one also known as the Garden house
The main house boasts two kitchens and four en-suite bathrooms and two terraces overlooking the Camel Estuary, while the smaller one has three bedrooms, a boat store, a car port as well as a kitchen, dining and living room area. Gordon and wife Tana added some impressive additional features which cost £247k.
ROCK
With its pretty turquoise waters, perfect sands and fine dining, it’s easy to see why the fishing village of Rock has become known as the St Tropez of the UK.
Nestled on the rugged north Cornwall coast, it shot to fame as the favourite holiday destination of Princes William and Harry in the Nineties.
More recently it’s achieved fame as the home of Gordon Ramsay, wife Tana and their five children, and is also dubbed “South Kensington-on-sea” by locals.
The rise of posh outsiders desperate for a second home is so huge that even the local church feared its 120-year-old building would become one when it struggled to make enough money to fund a new roof.
But at the final hour last week they secured a loan for £34,000 and are now trying to raise the cash to pay it off.
