Simon Cowell’s massive £8m mole-riddled mansion after escaping for the country
Having been a giant in the music and television industry for decades, Simon Cowell is used to the high life when it comes to luxury property. However, the multi-millionaire is not immune to the perils of pests.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge has reportedly found himself in a ‘hole’ lot of trouble after the grounds of his mansion recently suffered from an infestation of moles.
Simon, 64, bought a sprawling property in the heart of the Cotswolds after escaping the big smoke for countryside living, only for the grounds of the £8 million home to be met with hundreds of molehills.
The huge renovation project has seen a team of builders fuse four different properties on the site to create one dream mega-mansion for the family. Simon’s abode boasts five bedrooms, an outdoor swimming pool and, we can expect, a huge kitchen and many other spacious rooms.
Simon previously owned a huge £45 million townhouse in the sought-after area of Holland Park but the family eventually moved after they went through a series of unfortunate events, including the house getting ransacked by thieves.
The music mogul’s home, where he lived for more than 16 years, was burgled by a group of criminals who stole passports and more than £1 million worth of jewellery.
The crime took place in 2015 when he, Lauren and Eric, who was a baby at the time, were asleep in the house. The horrifying event naturally traumatised the family and they bid farewell to the capital last year, with Simon claiming he “no longer feels safe.”
