Gordon Ramsay’s ex neighbours in Cornwall set for fresh hell as new owner of £7.5m home plans major building work

GORDON Ramsay’s Cornish neighbours may have been jubilant after he sold his Daymer Bay House for a record £7.5million.

But if they thought the telly chef, who came under fire for spending time there during lockdown, was troublesome – the person who has bought the house may cause them even more of a headache.

Newly submitted plans for the mansion have revealed the latest owner is planning major renovations on the house – including building an extension on the main house and ripping out and replacing the current pool.

The paperwork on the house says it now belongs to Dominic Murphy, one of the country’s best known financial barons, who masterminded the £17 billion merger of Boots with US rival Walgreens. 

Plans submitted to the council also reveal plans at the property for a yoga studio, garage and a workshop.

Gordon was blasted by locals for spending time at the pad during the very first lockdown.

It isn’t the only thing that made him unpopular with his neighbours however.

The superstar telly chef has previously been at the centre of a storm with his neighbours in Rock – after a series of huge renovation works.

He was accused of bringing “Legoland to Cornwall” after he called in builders to create a mega-home with incredible views of the sea.

Gordon’s plans included knocking down a 1920’s property to build a new, modern pad – complete with a second smaller property which was known as “The Garden House”.

One of his neighbours moaned at the time: “I urge you to insist that this house is not bulldozed and its façade be maintained or at least some of its character be retained rather than the short-sighted house which is currently proposed.

“The council will come to regret having allowed such traditional houses to be destroyed with impunity.”

Gordon, who has five children with his wife Tana, previously hit back at his Cornish critics and might light of their dislike of him.

Speaking about their claims he was endangering Cornish people after going there at the start of the pandemic, Gordon said: “God knows why we took so much s**t from the Cornish.

“We lived down there; we just hadn’t been down there for a long time. We didn’t sneak down there at all.

“We got there at an appropriate time and had an absolutely amazing time. And a time like that – we’ll never get back again.”

And earlier this year he told Vernon Kay on BBC Radio 2 that he could not abide the locals who live around him in Cornwall.

Laughing, Gordon said: “Trust me I absolutely love Cornwall, it’s just the Cornish I can’t stand.”
