Popstar Liam Payne first rose to fame as part of The X Factor UK in 2010 when he was made part of boyband One Direction. Over the years, the musical group would become an international phenomenon before taking an indefinite hiatus in 2016. Now, the former group members have embarked on various solo careers and Payne has taken the approach of melding electronic dance music with pop.

More than musical discography, Payne delved into real estate with his 2015 purchase of a mansion in Woking, an English town in southwest Surrey. The property was sold for $6.8 million where the popstar previously lived with his former girlfriend Cheryl Tweedy of pop girl group Girls Aloud. In March of 2017, Tweedy gave birth to their son named Bear and about a year later, the duo announced their breakup. In March of 2019, Tweedy and Bear moved out of the Surrey home and reside about 45 minutes away. Now, Payne is also bidding farewell to the former abode and has listed the property on the market for $8.9 million.

Payne’s former five bedroom and seven bath residence is presented as an ideal home for a couple or family with young children. The main house boasts the primary bedroom with two skylight-topped bathrooms and a custom-fitted dressing room. The property also features a separate two-story cottage with one bedroom and bath available for guests or staff. The space melds a Georgian-style aesthetic with a sense of modernity and pop culture memorabilia. The white walled interiors present varied entertainment options with multiple reception rooms, game room with a billiards table and pinball machines, and a plush home theater with a distinctive Iron Man replica in a corner. Stepping outside, the yard opens onto a golf course in an exclusive area of Surrey. The expansive exterior offers a swimming pool, turf tennis court, and a large garden house. Other luxe amenities of the English abode include a private gym, hot yoga room, and plentiful parking space for eight vehicles.
