Owner of 'world's most expensive house' says it's a death trap

A self-made millionaire who bought the 'world's most expensive bungalow' has revealed what it's like inside - including a "death trap" swimming pool and a leaking roof. The £13.5million home on 'Millionaire's Row' in Dorset's exclusive Sandbanks resort was bought by recruitment boss Tom Glanfield in March 2023.

The 44-year-old businessman faced criticism when he revealed his plans to demolish the original home. But he has responded by showing what it's really like on the inside, reports Dorset Live.

He says it "relies on obscene amounts of oil" and is in need of serious investment - including a new sea defence which he says could cost £ 1 million. While his neighbours have huge garages, electric gates and hot tubs, Tom says his dated pad has a leaking roof, mould and mildew and cracked concrete driveway.
