Inside The Chase host Bradley Walsh's £2.5m country mansion after renovation

Bradley Walsh has hit the jackpot with this country mansion.

When he’s not fronting TV hit The Chase, the presenter, 59, makes big money renovating luxury properties.

Four years ago he splashed out £2.5million on this barn conversion near Epping, Essex.

After a makeover worth an estimated £800,000, it is now a dream home.

It is set in landscape gardens and boasts a sauna, gym, outdoor swimming pool and giant sculpture.

Celebs living nearby include Rod Stewart and Michelle Keegan.

Its listing with property developers Wadhams says: “A spectacular, luxurious restored Grade II listed barn within an exclusive development comprising just two properties, in a wonderfully rural location just outside Epping.”

Bradley, who also stars on Doctor Who, has become TV’s biggest earner after netting £8.5million over the past year.

A professional footballer with Brentford in his younger years, Bradley launched a career in the entertainment world after injury forced him out of the game at the age of 22.

He had a spell as a Pontins bluecoat in Morecambe, Lancs, before landing his big break as host of ITV gameshow The Midas Touch in 1982. He went on to host Wheel of Fortune before focusing on acting and presenting.

He has also had major roles in Law & Order: UK and Mike Bassett: England Manager. He currently stars as Graham O’Brien in Doctor who.
