Amir Khan swaps £1.2m mansion for modest bungalow across the street that wife Faryal Makhdoom spent ‘£250,000 revamping’
The former unified light-welterweight world champion's parents used to live in the house which he has transformed with a 'man cave' and a host of luxury extras
AMIR KHAN swapped his £1.2million Bolton mansion for a four-bed bungalow over the road that wife Faryal Makhdoom spent £250,000 on revamping back in 2018.
The former unified light-welterweight world champion and I’m a Celebrity’s parents used to live in the modest property.
But Khan, 34, set up camp in the smaller dwelling after overseeing a number of luxurious changes, which includes a ‘man cave’ that was once a garage.
The kitchen, bathrooms and all internal spaces have been totally gutted and renovated by luxury developers The Address Interiors, reported the .
Khan, whose new reality TV series Meet The Khans: Big in Bolton airs on Sunday night, and Pakistani-American student Makhdoom, 27, had a public bust-up in which she was called a “gold digger” and accused of sleeping with heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
And in 2016 Khan’s dad Sajjad accused his daughter-in-law of being a “bad mother” for leaving her young daughter in New York while going to Khan for a training camp.
With their marriage believed to be suffering, the pair put their mansion on the market for £1.6m last year before lowering the price to £1.2m.
But they took the property off the market and moved into the bungalow after it underwent a fancy renovation.
The man cave features Khan’s belts and a huge creme L-shaped sofa on which to watch TV.
It took a year to complete the property’s amazing turnaround, with it being finished in May.
The nursery has been transformed along with the two lounges – one “formal” the other “informal” – and an indoor swimming pool decorated with a mosaic of a pair of boxing gloves with Khan’s initials on them.
A hot tub, steam room and gym provide the perfect places to relax and get fit.
The 2,080 sq ft L-shaped bungalow has four bedrooms in all, three are en-suite, as well as a dining room, conservatory and double garage.
