The proposed flat would feature a lounge, kitchen and dining room, with a triple garage underneath to house Capaldi’s car collection. Capaldi purchased the property on the recommendation of fellow musician Ed Sheeran, who helped him search for a “forever home.” Speaking in 2022, Capaldi joked: "Ed Sheeran told me to buy this house and it’s an absolute hell hole. Sheeran said he would consider buying the house from Capaldi if it would "make him feel better." Despite his initial disappointment with the state of the house, Capaldi embarked on extensive renovations to transform the property into a luxury home.
