has sold one of his most luxurious Cornwall homes for a whopping £7.5 million – believed to be the most expensive sale recorded in the county to date.
The property in Trebetherick, named Daymer Bay House, which has six bedrooms, four bathrooms, a swimming pool and tennis court, sits on 2.5 acres of land.
It was sold in March 2021, according to Land Registry Documents, when land in the picturesque countryside was going for a premium as Londoners fled the confines of the city for more spacious locations.
The celebrity chef, whose show Future Food Stars , had first bought Daymer Bay House for £4m in 2016 in the midst of a planning battle to demolish another of his Cornwall properties.
In 2019 he was given permission to build a log cabin in the garden and then last year, the 55-year-old became the recipient of the most expensive sale in Cornwall with the reported £7.5m sale.
It has now beat the record of Polwartha in Rock which sold for £6.5m in 2007, according to Cornwall Live.
Gordon, who has an estimated net worth of £178m, has appeared outside the property with his daughter, star, on a segment of ITV’s This Morning.
He spoke of when his family spent time there during the 2020 lockdown.
The TV star, who once owned three homes in Cornwall, including a Grade II-listed former Lloyds Bank in Fowey, now only has his waterfront property in Rock.
He sold the Fowey property in October 2020 for £2.75million.
The home he holds on to was built on the site of a now-demolished five-bedroom home, which he purchased for £4.4m in 2015.
Despite the smooth sale of Daymer Bay, Gordon’s time in Cornwall has been anything but.
From upsetting residents with his bid for planning permission for a log cabin, to being criticised for saying he did not like the local residents, he has put a fair few noses out of joint.
‘Trust me, I absolutely love Cornwall, it’s just the Cornish I can’t stand,’ he told Vernon Kay, on Zoë Ball’s BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show. When asked if he was serious, he added: ‘I promise I did mean it.’
The Hell’s Kitchen star’s spokesperson later said he had ‘made these tongue-in-cheek comments many, many times.’
The father-of-six was most recently pictured with his family at the showbiz wedding of the year (so far) as David and ’s eldest child
