It was the house he used to live in with his ex-wife Cheryl. They bought it together just a few months after getting married in 2006.
But Ashley Cole will finally be done with the Surrey house he bought with his ex-wife after selling it for a huge £6.1million. It has been seven years since they broke up.
The former Chelsea player made a huge profit of £2.5 million on Hurtmore House in Godalming. He bought it for £3.5 million, which was £500,000 more than it was being sold for at the time. The couple who got divorced spent another £5 million fixing up the eight-bedroom house, which has a movie theater, a football field, and even a helipad. Ashley’s big, fαncy house also has a 42-foot-long, high-end, open-plan kitchen.
The property itself is 60,000 square feet and sits on 13 acres of land. A long, private road lined with trees leads to the property. The luxurious home also has an indoor swimming pool, sauna, and Jacuzzi tub. Ashley put the home on the market for £7.5million at first, but when it didn’t sell, he lowered the price by £1.4million.
A source told The Sun that Ashley had to take a big cut in price because he knew he just had to get rid of it. After Ashley moved to America to play for LA Galaxy, he chose to put the house on the market. The star joined the team in January 2016, but in January of this year, he signed a one-year deal.
The sale happens right after the athlete and his girlfriend Sharon Canu, who looks like Cheryl, had their second child.
Cheryl and Ashley got a divorce and Cheryl gave the house to Ashley. In her 2012 book, Cheryl: My Story, she talked about the house and said it was very hard for her to leave the home she had shared with Ashley for so many years.
She said, “It broke my heart to pack up my clothes and still see some of Ashley’s clothes in the closet.” Every room reminded me of something, and every night I cried.
Cheryl and her then-husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini later bought a house in North London for £4 million. It had five bedrooms, a swimming pool, and a gym. Cheryl and Liam Payne now have a son named Bear.
Frank Lampard struggling to stay relevant as dismal Chelsea lose AGAIN to Brentford
Who knows what Mauricio Pochettino thought of this disappointing loss.
In the race for ninth place, Chelsea’s temporary manager Frank Lampard is having a hard time staying relevant after losing his 13th game in a row as a manager.
And if Pochettino, the former Tottenham star who is in talks to become the new head coach at Stamford Bridge this summer, was watching, he would have found Newsnight more comforting than the highlights of Match of the Day on the other station.
Chelsea fans haven’t felt this way about a match under the Fulham Broadway lights in at least 20 years, if ever.
At this point in the season, they are generally getting ready for cup finals or camping on the upper slopes of the Premier League. But they have made such a mess of the last nine months that, after three managers and £600 million, they are on track to end below Brentford and Fulham in the West London & District Midweek Combination.
Brentford hasn’t won in six games, but they are skilled carpetbaggers. A year ago, they beαt Thomas Tuchel, who was the boss of Chelsea at the time, in their first win at the Bridge since 1939.
And those annoying bees are up to their old tricks again.
Eight minutes before halftime, Blues captain Cesar Azpilicueta put Mathias Jensen’s corner kιck into his own net. This was his first start since the 1-0 loss to Southampton at home in February.
Azpilicueta is now tied with John Terry for the most own goals scored by a Chelsea player in the Premier League. Both have scored four.
If his goal was an αccident, it didn’t sαy much about how well the home team’s defense was organized, since set pieces are one of Brentford’s best skills.
“We’re just a bus stop in Hounslow,” made fun of 3,000 fans from the other team as they celebrated going ahead without getting a shot on goal.
Chelsea tried hard, but Raheem Sterling, who plays as a lone scorer and is more of a potted plant than a towering pine, is having a worse season than amnesia.
After his team was booed off at halftime, Lampard made some changes. He brought Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang off the bench, who had been a frustrated bit player during Graham Potter’s unlamented rule. The Arsenal reject almost made an impact right away. He beαt Bees goalkeeper David Raya to Enzo Fernandez’s cross, but his header hιt the roof of the net, and his shot from 12 yards out was weak.
But Chelsea’s tippy-tappy passes didn’t get them anywhere, and with 12 minutes left, Bees substitute Bryan Mbeumo cut into the box, and Thiago Silva deflected his shot past Kepa Arrizabalaga.
“We know that teams don’t have a divine right to be at the top. It has to come from us,” Lampard wrote in his program notes.
Based on this information, even getting into the top half of the table will be hard.
Lampard sαys that Chelsea is not broken, but if the wheels aren’t falling off, the tyres are flat, the locking nuts are loose, and the axles are groaning, just like the fans.
