The site is green belt land so any application for planning permission for any sort of development would be tough.
It remains a mystery why
The land, made up of grass of trees, is adjacent to Abridge
Golf
and Country Club, a stunning course which states that it's one of the most beautiful in
Essex
.
Bradley lives just a few miles away in a £2.5M barn conversion with his wife Donna, which also
features
a sauna, gym and outdoor
pool
.

It's also believed that keen golfer Bradley is a member of Abridge golf club.
Bradley's plot of land backs onto the golf club, which in recent years has been expanding.
In 2023, it gained planning permission for an extended
driving
range, a new three-hole
mini
course, indoor putting green, seating areas and two new dwellings.
The works are on land to the south of the course - and now if the golf club ever wanted to extend further, it has no choice but to buy Bradley's land from him.

All of a sudden a £400k deal for 44 acres looks like a snip compared to the millions he could sell it to the golf club for.
For that size of land, there's enough for a nine-hole golf course.
According to the title deeds, the land was bought by his company Barnstormer Holdings Ltd in March 2018.

It was purchased by borrowing

from his mega rich media firm Wingit Productions Ltd, whose last accounts reveal it had £19.9M in reserves.
The Sun has contacted a representative for Bradley for comment.

ITV's huge new entertainment show to replacing Saturday Night Takeaway revealed – and show will have a hidden twist

With Saturday Night Takeaway and Dancing On Ice on the shelf, ITV has had a vacancy for its next big entertainment hit. And I can reveal that a star-studded prank show called Celebrity Sabotage has already been filmed and will fill the primetime slot. 6 ITV is to fill the Saturday primetime night gap with star-packed prank show Celebrity Sabotage, with Joel Dommett as host Credit: ITV They've installed channel golden boy Joel Dommett as host with I'm A Celebrity favourites Their mission will be to playfully sabotage unsuspecting members of the public by completing daring and funny stunts. And they'll be helped along by a bulging line-up of celebs which include Jill Scott, Fay Ripley, But that's not where the A-list action ends. READ MORE TV NEWS Each episode begins with a set of contestants arriving for what they believe is a brand-new ITV show. These range from cooking challenges and relationship tests to business tasks and even murder mystery games. To make it even more convincing, these fake shows will have believable hosts, including familiar faces such as Every successfully executed sabotage mission will add more money to a secret prize pot for the contestants. Most read in News TV A source said: 'Celebrity Sabotage will have everything ITV does best at its heart — fun and laughter, a huge cash prize and it's absolutely jam-packed with celebs.' The show is set to air on ITV later this year. I'd love to have been in the green room for this one. Joel Dommett reveals unaired moment I'm A Celebrity star was told off by bosses after breaking major rule Horror time for Mary 6 Mary Louise Parker swaps party hats for horror as she stars as sinister Ms Sigsby in adaption of Stephen King's The Institute Credit: Chris Reardon/MGM+ Just because she's wearing a party hat in a first look at new Amazon MGM+ series The Institute doesn't mean that Mary Louise Parker is all fun and games. The actress plays Ms Sigsby in the adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name, the director of a shady institution that kidnaps children before putting them through horrifying experiments and dishing out torture in the hopes of them developing telekinetic and telepathic powers. The series director Jack Bender told me: 'Mary Louise's character is evil, and the villain, and even more so coming, let me tell you!' She's joined by Ben Barnes in the series, as former police officer Tim Jameson, and Martin Freeman's son Joe, as main character Luke Ellis, a super-smart 12-year-old with telekinetic abilities. And for Joe, the most intimidating part of the new role wasn't getting to grips of the horrors of what happens to Luke, but getting to grips with being on set away from his family. He joked: 'I felt intimidated landing in Canada. I didn't know anybody on the whole continent.' The Institute airs on MGM+ from July 13. Prime Video will air a series of documentaries about some of the UK's most high-profile true crimes. The Orkney Assassin: Murder In The Isles, about the killing of a waiter in 1994, streams from today. Black History Month comedy showcase 6 A new sketch show comes from the people behind the BBC's Munya Chawawa's Race Around Britain and Channel 4's The Big Narstie Show Credit: Getty A new sketch show is coming to ITV later this year to celebrate Black History Month. Say! Less! will be packed with sketches based on the differences between internet culture and the offline reality as part of the ITV Diversity Commissioning Spend, a £80million project laid out over the next three years. It comes from the minds behind the BBC's Munya Chawawa's Race Around Britain and Channel 4's The Big Narstie Show. An insider teased: 'Say! Less! is a rapid fire mix of viral parodies and absurd character - it's bold, smart and unapologetically Black British Gen Z.' Casting is yet to be announced but will showcase talent from rising comedy stars. It will stream on ITVX in October. Patsy's live 'too dull' for Wives 6 Patsy Kensit has turned down Real Housewives of London – admitting her life's too quiet for the drama-packed series Credit: The Mega Agency I revealed last month that she was approached to star in the new Real Housewives of London , but Patsy Kensit has now revealed why she turned down the opportunity. And it's not because the actress, who is the ex-wife of Surprisingly, it's because she reckons her life is too boring. Patsy told me: 'I did have a meeting with them, but I live in my little flat in London with my cat, my sons have flown the nest , and I don't think my lifestyle would stand up to these women. 'I wouldn't fit with them - but I'm a huge fan and I love the show, Real Housewives of Cheshire's Dawn Ward is one of my favourites, I'm a superfan of hers.' The full line up features Real Housewives of Jersey star Karen Loderick-Peace, millionaire mogul Amanda Cronin, Ladies of London's Juliet Angus, Bake Off: The Professionals star Nessie Welschinger, Australian model Juliet Mayhew and socialite Panthea Parker. Stephen: 'End of an ear-a' 6 Stephen Mulhern has passed Roy Walker's Catchphrase record – but reveals why he'll never copy his iconic catchline Stephen Mulhern has now presented more episodes of Catchphrase than show legend Roy Walker – but he's not following in his footsteps quite yet. Chatting to TV Biz on the set of ITV's Celebrity Catchphrase, Stephen revealed a secret behind Roy's famous 'It's good… but it's not right' saying, which he'll never emulate. Stephen said: 'The reason he used to say that is he never used to wear an earpiece to the production team. 'So the floor manager would give him a thumbs up if the answer was right, or a thumbs down if it was wrong. 'So to give him more time, Roy would go, 'it's good..' wait for the floor manager to go down or up… then 'but it's not right' or 'and it's right!'. Which is amazing, really, isn't it? 'I find it fascinating that Noel Edmonds, Roy, Bruce Forsyth, all those legendary performers and presenters never wear earpieces. 'They just don't like it. Brucie never did it, even on Strictly.'

The actor, who played ITV's socially awkward medic for 10 series, volunteers his pet dogs at the local centre too. He said: 'I've been doing it for a few years.
