The professional dancer, 58, left her Hollywood home back in 2019 after decided to relocate to her home country.
She put the property on the market for £2.1 million after spending most of her adult life stateside, but viewers got a peek into the chic abode when presenter Keith Lemon nosied round the place in on an episode of Through The Keyhole three years ago.
The gorgeous properly was the perfect fit for a dance champion like Shirley- she could brush up on her moves in a large living room, which was the perfect set-up for both winter and summer months.
Colder evenings were likely spent around Shirley's wood-burning fireplace that is bedecked with sparkling copper tiles, while white tiled floors make the room feel open and airy.
The star was clearly into her antiques with unique lamps and ornaments filling the room.
She's considered royalty in the dance world so it's no surprise Shirley's bedroom was fit for a queen.

The room was made up of French-inspired gilt furnishings, with a grand bed and baroque chairs and side tables.
There's also an en-suite bathroom where Shirley likely pampered herself as well as an enviable walk-in wardrobe jam-packed with clothes and shoes.
When Shirley wanted to cook up her favourite meals, there was a stylish kitchen complete with an island unit and marble worktops.
The choreographer could also enjoy the warm California temperatures in her incredible garden, which boasts a large swimming pool and whirlpool.
