Paris & Tyson Fury's £800K former family home is up for sale & it has sea-views, chandeliers and posh ‘marble' bathrooms
BOXING fans can snap up Tyson Fury's eccentric former family home for £800,000 - with a moody portrait of the Gypsy King in the hallway. The six-bedroom seaside mansion in Morecambe, Lancashire, was listed on Rightmove on July 22. 18 18 18 18 18 Estate agents Fine & Country's snaps show a mood black and white portrait of 36-year-old Fury's head hung in the hallway under a lavish chandelier. Eccentric patterned wallpaper wraps up the stairs towards the former world heavyweight champion's master bedroom. Its white marble-style bathroom walls, diamond-spotted carpet and dining chairs with door knockers add to the property's quirky style. Fury's glam wife Paris Fury could be seen posing next to the unique staircase in snaps shared to her Instagram account between 2018 and 2021. Fury then moved to a larger mansion further down the Morecambe coastline, honouring his public pledge not to leave his beloved home town - but it was reported the property was still in his portfolio in 2023. Rightmove records show the three-bath detached property was bought for £480,000 in 2015 and is now listed for £800,000. Tyson Fury has been contacted for comment. HUMBLE DWELLING call their old house home. Speaking on a three-part ITV documentary in 2020, "People say to me, 'Why don't you live in California or America?' - why would I? How Tyson Fury's second season of Netflix reality show can be key to finally securing Anthony Joshua fight "Why would I abandon my own country for a bit of money and some fame? "I love it. I would never leave Morecambe. It's true beauty. "If the weather was better, every house here would be a million quid." Before making Morecambe his home in 2011, Fury used to reside in a caravan on land owned by his dad John. 18 18 18 18 18 18 NEW PAD The family now live in a stunning £1.7million home - seen on their Netflix show At Home with the Furys - after purchasing it in 2020, according to The Mirror. Paris previously revealed on Loose Women that they were looking for somewhere else to live because they had to put their children's safety as their priority. The mum-of-seven explained: "We get people around the house. It's not good, we actually have to because of that. "We're in the process of moving house because we've had too many people at the door - too many strangers knocking.' As soon as you pull up into the Fury's plush Morecambe mansion, there's no mistaking where you are - that's because Tyson has had his nickname the "Gypsy King" emblazoned on the driveway. A team of groundworkers spent two weeks working on the 1,200sqm project and used a rather impressive 1,400 bags of gravel. She's married to the "Gypsy King", so it's only right Paris has a throne fit for a Queen. The couple have both been pictured casually sitting on a golden throne, which was a prop used by Fury during his ring-walk in February 2020's rematch against Deontay Wilder. 18 18 Paris has previously shown off the couple's master bedroom, which is decorated with gold accessories and furniture - including a huge Versace bed. But it turns out the couple's love of the Italian luxury fashion brand is extended throughout the lavish abode, with Paris posing next to a striking Versace mirror. It's proudly placed above a stunning marble fireplace, which is complete with eagle carvings, while a chic white painted dresser with glass doors is stood to its side. The regal seat now takes pride of place in the family's home and only adds to the sense of grandeur felt by other luxuries - including ornate candlesticks and sweeping gold curtains which adorn the property. Inside Tyson and Paris Fury's love story WITH world champ titles, multiple kids and a beautiful wife by his side, Tyson is much-loved by the nation, but his romance with Paris dates back to their teenage years. Paris met Fury when she was just 15 at a mutual friend's wedding. However, it wasn't until a year later, when their paths crossed again on a night out in Doncaster for her 16th birthday, that they began dating. Paris explained: "He was my first boyfriend as I was not allowed a boyfriend until the age of 16. He is the only boyfriend I have had. 'Tyson would train in boxing during the week and then come and see me at the weekend. I would always be so excited at the thought of seeing him.' In 2008, they tied the knot in front of 400 guests and slept together for the first time on the night of their wedding. In 2016, Fury's mental health issues, cocaine and alcohol abuse, and intolerable mood swings threatened their seemingly unbreakable marriage. On occasion, Paris would even contemplate leaving - packing her bags and getting into her car. However, she'd just stop herself - admitting she couldn't leave Tyson to "crash and burn".

UK house price growth accelerated as buyers rushed to beat stamp duty deadline
The average UK house price increased by 6.4% annually in March, accelerating from 5.5% annual growth in February, according to official figures. This took the average UK house price in March to £271,000, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. The ending of a stamp duty holiday from April onwards sparked a stampede of home-buyers in the run-up. Stamp duty applies in England and Northern Ireland. The figures were released as statistics showed UK inflation surged to its highest level for more than a year last month. Households have been clobbered by a raft of 'awful April' bill increases. Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation reached 3.5% in April, up from 2.6% in March and the highest level since January 2024. This was higher than some economists had been predicting, with a rise of 3.3% having been expected. Andrew Montlake, chief executive at Coreco mortgage brokers, said: 'With inflation edging up sharply this morning, and mortgage rates likely to follow as expectations of further base rate cuts reduce, this could see average values start to retreat again. If prices do start to ease, they will only go so far as there is a fundamental lack of supply.' Jonathan Handford, managing director at estate agent group Fine & Country, said: 'In the months ahead, inflation and still-elevated borrowing costs are likely to weigh on demand, particularly as affordability remains stretched across much of the country. 'That said, a period of softer or stabilising house prices may offer a welcome opportunity for first-time buyers who have been priced out in some areas of the country.' Sarah Coles, head of personal finance at Hargreaves Lansdown, said the 'rush to seal a deal' before the end of the stamp duty holiday provided some extra impetus for the housing market. She added: 'This may well slow again in the next set of figures, which is the usual pattern in the aftermath of a stamp duty holiday. However, we're unlikely to see anything too dramatic. 'This period has been marked by robust price growth rather than stellar leaps, so the hangover from the property party is likely to be less painful. 'Lower mortgage rates should also help support prices. However, with buyer numbers likely to have dropped off fairly sharply, there's going to be some room for negotiation.' Nick Leeming, chairman of estate agent Jackson-Stops, said: 'Encouragingly, across the Jackson-Stops network we are seeing robust activity levels, with demand outpacing supply in popular markets. In April alone, an average of five potential buyers were competing for every new listing, underscoring borrowers' continued commitment.' Jeremy Leaf, a north London estate agent, said some potential buyers and sellers are 'sitting on their hands', adding: 'The recent cut in mortgage rates has restored some confidence but April's sharp rise in inflation will not help.' Average house prices increased to £296,000 (6.7% annual growth) in England, £208,000 (3.6%) in Wales, and £186,000 (4.6%) in Scotland, in the 12 months to March, according to the ONS. The average house price in Northern Ireland was £185,000 in the first quarter of 2025 – a 9.5% annual increase. Iain McKenzie, chief executive of the Guild of Property Professionals, said: 'We cannot ignore the subdued economic backdrop and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties which will likely ensure a more measured pace of growth for the remainder of the year.' Richard Harrison, head of mortgages at Atom bank, said: 'Lenders have been incredibly active in reducing rates.' The ONS also said average UK monthly private rents increased by 7.4%, to £1,335, in the year to April. The annual growth rate eased from 7.7% in March. Average rents increased to £1,390 per month (7.5% annual growth) in England, £795 (8.7%) in Wales, and £999 (5.1%) in Scotland, in April. In Northern Ireland, average rents increased to £843 (7.8% annual growth) in the 12 months to February, the report said. Within England, annual inflation in private rents was highest in the North East region (9.4%) and lowest in Yorkshire and the Humber (4.0%), in April. Nathan Emerson, chief executive of property professionals' body Propertymark, said: 'Overwhelming demand within the rental sector continues to influence price increases for those who rent. We continue to witness, on average, around 10 applicants for every property available to rent and this is a situation that has broadly remained stagnated across the last five years. 'It is imperative that rental supply rises to meet the challenges of demand.'
