Declan Donnelly ‘plans to renovate eyesore property’ ruining his swanky £7m mansion view

ok.co.uk:

Declan Donnelly has solved the problem of an "eyesore" neighbouring property, opting to purchase and renovate the additional home.

The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! host and his wife Ali Astall have spent a fortune transforming their house into their dream home which is thought to now be worth a whopping £7million, however their view had been runied by a diliapitated property next door.

In an attempt to solve this problem, the couple have forked out £2.25million to purchase the property, and have submitted plans to build a single-storey side and rear extension to the house.

It remains unclear if they are planning to move into the home or sell the house following renovations. A source told The Sun: "The street Dec lives in is very swanky and lined with large detached houses and his place is one of the most impressive mansions there. "But other neighbours have taken less care of their properties and the one bang next door to Dec had been allowed to become a bit of an eyesore. "Most people would have to live with seeing it go to rack and ruin but Dec has taken the initiative and snapped it up when it came on the market. "The front has already been secured and boarded up ready for the rebuild and the planning application has gone in." OK!
