According to reports, John Terry made a whooping £20 million profit when he sold his property.

The expansive seven-bed property from the 18th century in Surrey was bought by the 42-year-old former England football player for £4.1 million in 2019.

The former Chelsea footballer and his 42-year-old wife Toni have been remodeling the mansion over the past few years.

According to a source who spoke to The Sun, “John and Toni have a real eye for interior design,” the Leicester City coach has now sold the house for an incredible £23 million.

They renovated other rooms and constructed a sizable outdoor swimming area with a bar that is ideal for gatherings.

“They renovated the garages to house a fleet of high-end sports cars and added a gym.”

The mansion now has staff quarters built, and the athlete just paid £8 million for a nearby residence.

A spokesperson for John has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.

The athlete’s purchase of the land in 2019 was his fifth recent real estate transaction in the neighborhood.

During the summer off-season, after he had retired from playing and established himself as a successful real estate developer, he purchased the house, which was situated on eight acres of woodland.

The manor house, made of stone and flint, was constructed in 1752 for the Earl of Ellesmere’s personal chaplain.

The house featured a massive elaborate fireplace and many other historical details, including a metal spiral staircase.

The main home featured seven bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom, prior to renovations.

 

 

It included five more bedrooms, a master and guest suite, and a contemporary kitchen/dining area.

In addition, there was a study, library, and separate barn on the property, which was only accessible through a gated gravel lane and kept out of sight.

Two additional guest rooms with separate kitchenettes and an en suite bedroom were also included in the annexe.

The Terrys’ residence was described as a ‘elegant and magnificent period country house’ by the estate agency.

‘It’s a superb 18th century brick and flint country mansion which has been lovingly enlarged over the years,’ stated the property description.

A private drive leads to the residence, which is ideally situated on the grounds to enjoy views across the gardens.

It is unusual that a structure of this age and stature is not recorded as property.

 

The house’s initial portion dates back to 1752, and 20th-century additions were made afterward.

“Many of the period-style features have been restored by the current owners, who have renovated and refurbished the property during their ownership.”

The former Chelsea defender desired to renovate the garage at his £4.35 million Surrey estate to accommodate his high-end vehicles, which include a £2 million Enzo and a Ferrari 275 GTB. In addition, he had plans to construct an outside party area with a bar and covered seating near his pool.

Terry and his wife Toni purchased an eighteenth-century, seven-bedroom home in 2019 with the intention of adding a staff quarters to the garage.

However, Guildford Borough Council planning chiefs vehemently objected to some of the star’s ambitious plans in response to irate neighbors.

“No extremely exceptional circumstances have been shown which would outweigh the inherent harm to the Green Belt,” he continued.

To accommodate his expensive automobile collection, the Premier League player desired to build a larger garage in place of the current one.

According to the designs, “the proposed development comprises a detached triple garage to replace, and roughly in the same position as, an existing detached triple garage, with accommodation for ancillary domestic staff within the roof space above.”

And next to the outdoor pool area, after the present garage and one-story domestic storage outbuilding are demolished, there will be a one-story covered outdoor dining area that is open on all four sides.

With 460 meters of capacity, the garage would have been 111 square meters in size.

They claimed that because that region of Surrey has been designated a Green Belt to shield it from future development, neither the triple garage nor the outdoor party space were permitted there.

“The proposed replacement garage, by virtue of its size, height, bulk, mass, position, and floor area, would be materially larger than the building it is to replace and would have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing development,” case officer Chris Gent wrote in the decision report.

“Inappropriate development in the Green Belt” is what the proposed covered outdoor seating area represents.

The 18th-century home, which John purchased for £4.35 million in 2019, is conveniently close to Chelsea’s training facility in Cobham, Surrey, where he previously played for his former team.

The former football player reportedly owned five properties in the area after being involved with four others on the upscale Oxshott Crown Estate, which is one of the most expensive residential neighborhoods in Britain.

First off, in 2002, John bought a six-bedroom family home, which he later sold for £5 million in 2013.

The golfer Colin Montgomerie’s home, which has six bathrooms, four parlor rooms, and a two-bed staff annexe, was later purchased by him for £6.5 million in 2014.

After the house was broken into while the family was away on vacation skiing, John and his family decided to leave after having lived here for a number of years.

In 2011, he also constructed a nine-bedroom white mansion in the vicinity, where he planned to occupy alongside Toni and their twin offspring.

However, Sultan Qaboos bin Said, the Sultan of Oman, made them an unexpected offer of £16 million before they could move in.

In 2017, John also paid £4.5 million for another neighboring property, which he then submitted plans to destroy and replace with two opulent mansions.

He wed his wife Toni in 2007, and the couple welcomed their now-17-year-old twins, Summer and Georgie, into the world in 2006.
