England star Kyle Walker granted permission for amazing £250k luxury gym at his £3.5m mansion
ENGLAND star Kyle Walker has been granted permission to build a giant £250,000 luxury gym at his home.
The Manchester City player, 31, had plans to extend his £3.5million mansion when he moved in two years ago.
Kyle wants to build the luxury gym above his existing indoor swimming pool – which has a waterfall – and plans include a terrace too.
Proposals also involve extending the ground floor of the pool building to include a new sauna-steam room.
Plans revealed he’s hoping to rebuild an entire wing of his mansion to create double-height glass windows and doors to give a view from his pool over his garden.
The defender moved into the six-bedroom house back in 2019.
It has a five-a-side footie pitch and a games room.

Its interior featured on TV when the wife of the previous owner, footballer Stephen Ireland, appeared on Come Dine With Me.
But Kyle oversaw a huge Grand Designs-style renovation.
In December 2019 it was revealed that he had plans for a huge renovation project which featured a new drinking den within the house.
A source said: “Kyle bought the house for cash but since moving in he’s decided that he wants to put his own stamp on it.
“He paid a lot of money for it, so its surprising that he’s spent so much more on having alterations done inside, but I guess he can afford to do it so why not?
“He’s ripped out the staircase and changed the kitchen and introduced a bar which he’s very proud of.
“It means he can have fun with his pals without any prying eyes. He’s happy at City so is planning on laying down roots for good.”
