Inside John Terry’s property empire as he sells luxurious mansion plots
- He has sold two plots of land for millions after demolishing a £4.5m mansion
John Terry has made almost £5 million after selling off plots for two mansions he had planned to build, MailOnline can reveal.
The former England footballer, 43, purchased the £4.5 million property several years ago and knocked it down in preparation to build one six-bedroom and one five-bedroom home after receiving planning permission.
The Oxshott plot is part of the Crown Estate, one of the country’s most exclusive estates. Terry has been involved in the development of several luxury homes.
Both properties will include a kitchen diner, a family room, a drawing room, a dining room, a bar, a dressing room and a private lounge, a gallery, a games room and a terrace while the six-bed property will also include a pool and a gym.
Land Registry Documents obtained by MailOnline show one plot was sold for £2.75 million and another for £2.15 million.

Photos of the site in Oxshott show one of the homes is now completed with the new buyers appearing to have moved in whilst the other remains a blank canvas.
Both of the plots had planning permission for the new homes attached and one of the new buyers has built the property to specification under the plans lodged by Terry’s development company Blueco Estates.
A planning application has been submitted by the new owners of the second plot who want to amend the roof shape of a triple garage and change all the dormers of the Georgian grandeur property.
Planning documents state: ‘The proposals provide for a form of development that is in keeping with the established character and appearance of the surrounding area in terms of size, scale, layout, height and design.
‘The new dwelling will be a sustainable development with energy efficiency measures incorporated, such as green energy solutions.’
They previously lodged plans for external alternations including increasing the size and height of pillars and columns over front door and new chimney stacks.
The new property has a swimming pool and large garden with extensive planting
Oxshott is located in the district of Elmbridge, considered one of the most wealthiest boroughs in the UK
According to a development company which Terry has partnered with for the project, one of the homes is described as a ‘8500 sq. ft. new build’ and the other an ‘11500 sq. ft. new build.’
Terry has a flair for property development and has been involved in three others in the nearby Crown Estate in Oxshott, one of Britain’s most exclusive areas to live.
Firstly, in 2002, he purchased a six-bed family pad before selling it for £5million in 2013.
The retired footballer then purchased a neighbouring nine-bedroom mansion for £1.8m in 2007 and spent a further £4million renovating it, even building a fishing lake in the back garden.
He had planned to move into the brand new white mansion but then received an out of the blue offer from the Omani royal family.
The footballer sold his former home (bottom) for £16million in January 2014. He had planned to move into the property with his family, after building it next door to his original Oxshott home (top) which he sold in 2013

Terry made a £10million profit by selling the luxury home to General Sultan bin Mohammed al-Naamani, a senior minister for the Arab state – who reportedly purchased it for his boss Sultan Qaboos bin Said in January 2014.
He then acquired golfer Colin Montgomerie’s six-bedroom house for £6.5 million in 2014 which boasts a two-bed staff annexe, four reception rooms and six-bathrooms.
Terry splashed out funds on turning Montie’s putting green into a swimming pool and outdoor kitchen.
However, the family home was burgled by four Arsenal fans back in February 2017 after the footballer shared an Instagram picture from a family skiing holiday.

Terry slashed half a million pounds off the price off this mansion because of the Coronavirus pandemic
Darren Eastaugh, 30, Joshua Sumer, 27, Roy Head, 28, and Oliver Hart, 25, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit burglary.
The conspiracy involved seven burglaries across Surrey and Sussex, with a total lost from all of them was £600,000. All four were jailed for a total of 27 years and 11 months at Kingston Crown Court in 2017.
The home was later sold after he slashed half a million pounds off the £5.5m asking because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Terry later purchased a sprawling 18th-century seven-bed property in 2019 for £4.1million.
He bought the house – set in eight acres of woodland – in the summer during the off season after retiring from playing.

‘The property is accessed via a private drive and is well positioned within its land to take advantage of the views over the gardens.
‘Unusually, for a building of this age and stature, it is not listed property.
‘The original part of the house was built in 1752 and later extensions were added in the 20th century.’
He has been married to wife Toni since 2007 and in 2006 they welcomed twins Summer and Georgie, now 17.
