Katie Price’s Mucky Mansion, located in Horsham, West Sussex, has had its price slashed by £150,000 after a potential buyer pulled out of the sale. The iconic nine-bedroom house, famously featured in the Channel 4 documentary “Katie Price’s Mucky Mansion” in 2022, was initially under offer for £1.5m but has now been reduced to £1.35m in an effort to attract a new buyer.
The property has faced various challenges, including structural issues, general disrepair, and a potential contamination warning. Katie Price, the former glamour model and owner of the mansion, has also claimed that the house is haunted, insisting she has seen ghosts inside. The mansion was repossessed from Price after she failed to keep up with mortgage payments, and repair works were subsequently carried out to make the property more appealing to potential buyers.
According to reports, Price bought the mansion in 2014 with the intention of turning it into a “forever family home,” but her plans did not materialize as expected. Despite Price’s efforts, any proceeds from the sale of the mansion, if a buyer is found, will not go to her due to her bankruptcy status. A source mentioned to The Sun that significant investment is required to bring the mansion back to its true value after Price allegedly caused damage to the property.
The potential buyer who recently withdrew interest in the mansion registered their curiosity shortly after Price was evicted from the property in June. Price herself has described the mansion as cursed, expressing her relief at wanting to leave the troubled house due to the negative experiences she endured while living there.
In August, the mansion received a health warning from the estate agents responsible for its sale, highlighting issues related to waste material deposition on the property. Despite these challenges, the listing for the mansion boasts its potential as a substantial family home spread across 12.28 acres, with opportunities for refurbishment including the reinstatement of a tennis court and swimming pool.
The Independent reached out to the estate agents for further comment on the situation. The saga of Katie Price’s Mucky Mansion continues to captivate the public’s interest, offering a glimpse into the turbulent life of the former model and reality TV star.
