Joey Essex Lists £3 Million Love Island-Inspired Essex Mansion

Joey Essex, known for his time on The Only Way Is Essex, is selling his lavish £3 million mansion in the upscale area of Chigwell. The property, which strongly mirrors the aesthetic of the Love Island villa, is now on the market as the 35-year-old is reportedly preparing for a move abroad.

The striking five-bedroom home, acquired by Essex in 2014 for £1.6 million, has since been a regular feature on his social media feeds. Joey is parting with this extravagant property which boasts a variety of luxury amenities. Prospective buyers will find a sprawling pool surrounded by palm trees, an outdoor bar area, and intriguing garden sculptures of giraffes and elephants. Inside, the unique décor continues with statues of tigers and leopards dotting the interior, adding to the home’s eclectic charm.

The property's garden, remarkable in its design, stretches approximately 150 feet in length and 55 feet in width. It hosts a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, and an artificial lawn, making it an ideal venue for entertainment and leisure.

This house had its moment in the spotlight in 2024, in an exclusive shoot for OK! Magazine where Essex posed alongside his then-girlfriend, Jessy Potts, after their appearance on Love Island. At the time, they humorously dodged questions about future cohabitation, though by September of that year, the couple decided to amicably part ways.

Recently, Joey faced a challenge beyond property sales. His management company, Joey Essex Management Ltd, fell under financial scrutiny. The business collapsed due to an unpaid debt of £1.2 million, leading to its liquidation. Official documents indicated that a thorough investigation into the company's finances was underway.

Despite the business hurdle, the allure of Joey’s mansion remains intact. The Chigwell property, listed for £2.7 million, highlights his penchant for extravagant living and offers a slice of that lifestyle to potential buyers interested in a home that's as much a social space as it is a personal retreat.
