Fans of Scary Spice have been granted a rare opportunity to peek behind the scenes at the home life of Mel B.
The place she’s called home for the past year has just gone up for sale, and you know we wanted to have a nosy at how the other half lives.
A Leeds lass herself, she rented Kings Lea for a year when she returned to Yorkshire after leaving her abusive ex-husband Stephen Belafonte.
Now she’s upped sticks, giving fans the chance to look at her old pad and imagine the life she lives when she’s off duty.
The five-bedroom, four-bathroom property off Smithy Land is now up for sale – and images online
The striking residence boasts a large pond within its stunning 1.6-acre grounds and spans a whopping 4,600 square feet inside.
Priced at a cool £1.4 million for the asking price, the huge house is set among acres of green belt between Bramhope, Cookridge and Horsforth and accessed via a private road close to Cookridge cricket club.
It is one of two detached luxury homes which are accessed initially from a shared private drive way which then splits off to the two private residences.
From the front, the expansive property is reminiscent of a modern American-style home: painted all in white, with an ornamental verandah. Set back from the road, it’s well hidden and guarantees a good degree of privacy – something clearly valued by its former occupant.
Downstairs, there are four large reception rooms and a large high-spec kitchen/living/dining room with bi-folding doors that lead out onto a southern-facing sun trap terrace overlooking the grounds – one of several at the property.
Impressive mod cons inside include a Gaggenou indoor BBQ, a built-in aquarium and a log burning fire.
Upstairs, there are five large double rooms but Mel’s old master suite is the most impressive: complete with walk-in wardrobe, gym/study, and a gorgeous en suite with walk-in shower and freestanding bath.
Better yet, the master bedroom also has a built-in Bose sound system and access to an elevated private terrace overlooking the grounds.
The house bathroom, meanwhile, features another large walk-in shower and jacuzzi bathtub.
Just to sweeten the deal, all the bathrooms have underfloor heating too – no getting your toes cold here.
Elsewhere, there’s a double garage with electric roller shutters and large hallway, downstairs WC and ground floor office space.
Viewings are being taken by appointment only from 3rd July. To view the full listing, click here.
