Posts Tagged ‘new home’

Susan Boyle has bought herself a new home in Blackburn, according to a report in today’s Daily Mirror, which features photos of both? the inside and? the outside? of the house, together with views from the house (my, their photographer has been busy!). The house is valued at ?300,000 and has three bedrooms and a double garage. The rear view is lovely and overlooks a river (but don’t worry, there is a steep river bank so the house won’t flood). The house is also set in a private courtyard, which may help to allay security concerns.

Susan’s current home in Blackburn is constantly besieged by fans. However, some of the visitors have been more menacing – Susan has previously had to deal with finding strangers in her garden on Christmas Day, and a teenage intruder inside her home in January.

Susan won’t need a mortgage, because she is due to receive ?4 million pound in royalties for sales of her “I Dreamed a Dream” album, the payment, according to media reports, will arrive around the time of Susan’s birthday on April 1st, when she will be 49.

Susan Boyle has had a panic alarm fitted at her home in Blackburn after discoverying intruders? in her garden, according to an article in the Sunday People.

She found two strangers peering through her back window whilst she was watching television at about 11pm, but fortunately they scarpered when Susan pulled back the curtains to confront them.

Susan has already previously increased the security at her home, but this current incident has prompted fears that she may have to leave her humble semi and live somewhere more secure for her own safety.

Her older brother Gerry, 55,? told The People:? “I hate to think what might have happened if they had broken into the house when she was on her own. They could have had knives on them or anything.

“Susan rang me to tell me she’d had intruders like it was an everyday occurrence.

“She hadn’t mentioned the incident to anyone or even reported it to the police. When she casually dropped it into the conversation I was really shocked. “This can’t go on any longer. She now has to realise that living in this small house is no longer suitable and more importantly not safe for her.”

Susan was relaxing on the settee over Christmas, watching TV and stroking Pebbles, when she heard the intruders who had entered her garden via a side gate.

Now Susan has had a panic alarm installed which has a direct connection to the local police and her management team.

Gerry continued: “At present she has not seen a penny of her fortune but knows it will soon be coming her way.

“The problem is she can’t get her head round the extreme wealth that is coming and the implications for her future.

“People will think because she is about to become very rich she’ll have all kinds of valuables scattered around the house.

“But the truth is there is nothing in there worth stealing. Not a jot.

“She is still living off a ?200 a week allowance which she uses for food and bills – but as for luxuries such as jewellery and flat-screen TVs, there are none.

“The only thing she would be heartbroken to lose is her cat.”

Gerry is trying to persuade Susan to leave her home, and discussed with Susan the possibility of buying a more expensive home which would provide her with better security.

He added: “She is slowly coming around to the fact that her future is elsewhere, whether she likes it or not.

“I think the latest incident may have helped make her mind up.

“She’s told me she will have a budget between ?750,000 and ?1million but still wants to stay in the area to be near her family. I think she has a couple of places in mind but I can’t reveal them.

“She wants a lot of bedrooms so she can invite all her relatives and her new famous friends like Simon Cowell to stay.”

Susan spent a “very down to earth” Christmas at her sister Bridie’s home in Motherwell, near Glasgow.
