James Corden is given the green light to demolish his Oxfordshire house to build a \u00a38million mega-mansion with a pool, sauna and steam room<\/h2>\n

James Corden is finally set to go ahead with a new housing project, after a year’s wait for approval.<\/p>\n

The actor, 45, has been given the green light to demolish an \u00a38million 1960s property and replace it with a modern six-bedroom pad, complete with an outdoor pool, sauna and steam room.<\/p>\n

James, who recently returned with his family to the capital after ending his US chat show The Late Late Show, has previously faced objections from the local council and English Heritage, but has now been given the go-ahead for the works.<\/p>\n

A source told The Sun<\/span>: ‘James and his team have made sure everyone is happy with the plans and he cannot wait to have a proper base for his family.<\/p>\n

‘It’s been a long road but the place will be incredible when completed.’<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

New project:\u00a0James Corden is reportedly finally set to go ahead with a new housing project, after a year’s wait for approval<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Big plans:\u00a0The actor, 45, is set to demolish an \u00a38million 1960s property and replace it with a modern six-bedroom pad, complete with an outdoor pool, sauna and steam room<\/p>\n

Now, James hopes to move into the home with wife Julia and their three children as soon as possible, which is based in Oxfordshire.<\/p>\n

They have reportedly had to make a number of concessions in the planning, including a lighting project to protect bats, badgers and glow worms.<\/p>\n

There is also landscaping to keep safe 45 granite megalithic stones on the grounds.<\/p>\n

MailOnline has contacted a representative for James Corden for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The star recently sold his LA mansion to the\u00a0daughter of a Hong Kong private equity billionaire for $17.1 million – $5million less than what he wanted.<\/p>\n

He handed over the keys to\u00a0LeeAnn Akouri-Shan, daughter of Weijian Shan, 69.<\/p>\n

James first listed his home back in the fall at $22 million, a whopping $12 million more than he purchased it for in 2017 from ‘Modern Family’ co-creator Steve Levitan.<\/p>\n

The comedian later lowered the asking price to $18 million and quickly caught the attention of Akouri-Shan, who put in an all-cash offer, according to The Real Deal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Plans:\u00a0James, who recently returned with his family to the UK, has previously faced objections from the local council and English Heritage, but has now been given the go-ahead<\/p>\n

The 8,600-square-foot property is located in the upscale Brentwood neighbourhood and has seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms and sits on nearly a half-acre lot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After purchasing the property from Levitan, the comedian and wife Julia Corden – who is an interior designer – made significant renovations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The redo was lengthy and reportedly incredibly pricey for the pair who are now expected to move back to their native United Kingdom after Corden ended his run hosting the CBS late-night show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The couple have been married since 2012 and share three children together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Cordens will have to fork over give up an even larger portion of the profits thanks to Los Angeles’ new mansion tax, which burdens sellers with a 5.5 percent levy on sales larger than $10 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Akouri-Shan’s new home has been described as ‘New England traditional’ and features many amenities for a private but lavish lifestyle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The home is located behind gates and stays secluded thanks to a hedge out front.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Inside, the sprawling 8,600-square-foot residence includes\u00a0a\u00a0fireplace-equipped living room, an eat-in kitchen with marble countertops, and a library.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For film buffs, the house also comes with a movie theater that seats 20.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The property also comes with a large family room that opens up onto the garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A pool, pergola and private gazebo are featured prominently in the backyard, which also has plenty of space for outdoor activities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Upstairs, the home’s master bedroom has a private balcony, a lounge area, and two bathrooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Previously:\u00a0The star recently sold his LA mansion to the daughter of a Hong Kong private equity billionaire for $17.1 million – $5million less than what he wanted\u00a0<\/p>\n

In April, Corden\u00a0gave a glimpse at his lavish\u00a0home in\u00a0his last ever Carpool Karaoke segment with Adele.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ‘Chasing Pavements’ singer surprised him by waking him up in his bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adele, with the help of James’ camera crew, entered through the front door and gave fans a look at his spacious entry hall.<\/p>\n

The crew caught some of the home’s finer details including its mahogany floors and a dark brown rug leading into the living room.<\/p>\n

As the group moves through the home, a dark marble fireplace could be seen in the background along with a pair of French doors leading into the garden.<\/p>\n

James has previously given a glimpse at his kitchen in other clips from his show, with the room dominated by a huge white marble island.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The walls were covered in white tiles and matching cupboards while the star added an elegant finish with black countertops.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since the sale,\u00a0James has since moved back to the UK with Julia and their three children – Max, 11, Carey, eight, and Charlotte, four.\u00a0<\/p>\n
