Inside Holly Willoughby’s £3m London home with huge garden and dream kitchen

Holly Willoughby may have this week failed to be granted the right to extend her London mansion – but the TV star’s six-bedroom home is still more luxurious than most.

The 40-year-old This Morning star and her producer husband, Dan Baldwin, have a huge Edwardian London house to call home for themselves and their children Harry, 12, Belle, 10 and six-year-old Chester.

While Holly keeps her personal life reasonably private, she has offered glimpses inside her family home on occasion via social media and through her paid-partnerships online.

Holly and Dan have created a dream home together complete with a huge kitchen, comfortable living room, and vast garden.

Fans have been left open mouthed at the sight of Holly’s home interiors – which occasionally get shared online.

Her giant kitchen shows off white walls, marble surfaces and plenty of natural light – as well as a double oven, giant kitchen island and bespoke cupboards and storage space.

A fan of cooking, Holly frequently shares images of herself wrestling up feasts and treats at home – with no roast too large and no cake too chocolate for the star to whip up.

While she has also shared photos of her homely dining table which is often adorned with vases of flowers and flaming candles.

Holly has often shared photos from elsewhere in her house – with huge, grey coloured sofas found in the living area.

While bedrooms include luxury beds complete with pristine white bedsheets and blankets.

While Holly often shares photos of her children at home – but always conceals their faces from fans – there is another object of her affection who is arguably photographed more than anyone else in her posts, beside Holly herself.

And that is her beloved blue-eyed cat, Bluebell.

The four legged friend has been snapped by Holly all over her house – in the kitchen, in the living room, and even on beds.

The blonde haired TV host dotes on her pet and is frequently shown sitting beside, stroking and cuddling the cat.

This week, reports revealed that Holly and Dan had hoped to add a huge extension to their family home.

But their plans were thwarted by neighbours who complained to the council that the proposed building work would create too much noise.

The couple had reportedly hoped to add a first-floor side and rear extension to their stately Edwardian London house – only for their application to be turned down.

As well as complaints from neighbours, further reasons to have the plans dismissed were due to fire safety concerns and design and heritage reasons.

Holly and Dan have struggled to make changes to their home since buying it in 2011.

They previously planned to build a two-storey extension – but those plans were completely rejected five years ago.

While they did attempt to appeal the decision, they were again rejected by a planning inspector.

They have since scaled down the grand plans of their extension – submitting new plans for the one-story extension in April this year, only for the plans to be rejected.

A planning officer said: "The proposal by reason of its combined height, siting, width and depth contributes to an excessive scale and level of massing which would be an inappropriate and unsympathetic form of development harmful to the character and appearance of the host building... causing less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area.

"The benefits put forward are not considered to outweigh the identified harm."

It has been reported Holly and Dan have attempted to submit plans for extensions 14 times over the past 10 years – while they now have three months to appeal their current rejection.
