Inside Didier Drogba’s Surrey luxurious and expensive mansion

Didier Drogba has listed his magnificent Surrey estate for sale. However, any Chelsea superfan desiring to literally walk in their hero’s footsteps must pay £6.25 million.

The massive pad grand pad, which is protected by electric gates at the front, has six large bedrooms and seven breathtaking bathrooms for the proprietor to enjoy.

Down the elaborate spiral staircase in the house’s center are no less than five reception rooms, while the expansive open-plan kitchen is made of wood and marble with built-in appliances.

In addition, the 11,000-square-foot property contains an impressive entertainment complex.

This includes a jacuzzi, a sauna, and a large indoor swimming pool with bifolding doors that provide stunning views of the magnificent lawned garden.

The description of Drogba’s residence on Fine & Country reads: “Five primary reception rooms are located on the ground floor in the center of a grand reception hall with a grand staircase leading to all floors.

“To the front is a study and multipurpose reception room, and to the rear is a sensational dual aspect drawing room of enormous proportions, family room, and large open plan kitchen, equipped with modern built-in appliances and a central island for casual dining, leading to a delightful orangery with a high-roof.

“The property consists of just under an acre of land and is enclosed by electric gates.

“A large driveway provides ample parking and a two-story, multi-vehicle garage with a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment for additional living space.

The rear of the property features a south-facing landscaped garden with manicured lawns extending from a terrace area adjacent to the main house – an ideal location for relaxation and socializing.

The magnificent residence is situated in the opulent Crown Estate in Oxshott, close to Chelsea’s Cobham training facility.

It is idyllically situated in a wooded area that affords a great deal of privacy, yet provides easy access to the M25, A3, Gatwick, and Heathrow Airports, as well as some of the nation’s most prestigious institutions.

During his second tenure at Chelsea, which ended in 2015, Drogba and his now-ex-wife Lalla Diakite resided in the residence.

The couple divorced in 2020, and Drogba has now resolved to sell the mansion.

The Ivorian is legendary at Stamford Bridge, where he scored 164 goals in 381 appearances and won 12 major titles, including four Premier Leagues and the 2012 Champions League.

After departing the Blues permanently, he had brief stints with Montreal Impact and Phoenix Rising before retiring in 2018.

Since then, he has invested a substantial amount of his resources into his foundation, which supports people in his native country, as well as entering the media industry.

Nevertheless, he maintains a keen interest in Chelsea, where he is still revered as a legend.

This summer, Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling, and Kalidou Koulibaly were signed by new proprietor Todd Boehly, who spent the most money of any Premier League club to do so.

But the signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the final day of the transfer window prompted Didier Drogba to reveɑl that he had tried for years to persuade the Gabon star to join the Blues.

He posted on Twitter: “At last!!!!! Remember when we discussed it years ago. Congratulations, brother.”
