Sports star Ronnie O'Sullivan owns a home in a peaceful part of the UK

Ronnie O'Sullivan is best known as a successful English snooker player.

He lived in a property in Essex, just outside London.


Ronnie owns a mansion in Chigwell, which is a quiet town in the Epping Forest District.

Essex is a great place for those looking to merge city life with country living.

It has good transport links to nearby London but also plenty of countryside for enjoying a peaceful walk.

Homes do not come cheap in the county, however, and homeowners need to fork out for a property.

The average house in the county costs £432,955, according to Rightmove, although this is considerably cheaper than the London average price of £706,599.

Flats in Essex are the most affordable at around £308,493 and semi-detached homes will set homeowners back £448,191.

Ronnie previously owned a luxury boat that was moored on Regent's Canal.

It was fitted with an en suite bathroom and spacious lounge area. He owned this for around one year before selling it.

Ronnie is not the only celebrity who enjoys a quieter life in the UK.

Many stars have chosen rural parts of the country as where to set up camp.
