The late DG’s home is on the market

|

The late and much missed Hammers co chairman David Gold’s home  has gone on the market for £6million.

The Chalet is a magnificent place which I had the pleasure of visiting and whoever wins the battle to own it will be a very fortunate person indeed.

Now, according to the Mail on line the family has decided to sell the property  in Caterham, Surrey.

The house has an indoor swimming pool, helicopter pad and a nine-hole golf course in its 30 acres of land.

DG was one of Britain’s richest men whose family had an estimated worth of £460million in 2020.

He bought The Chalet in the 1980s and embarked on an extensive restoration of the property to enhance the original Victorian features.

It’s a beautiful place which many fans will have visited as David held open days, the proceeds of which went to his favourite local charities.
