The former Top Gear and Grand Tour host famously blew up his old £4million farmhouse in Chipping Norton, west Oxfordshire, for an episode of the Grand Tour in 2016.
Much to the anger of his neighbours, Curdle Hill Farm home was reduced to rubble with help from Grand Tour co-stars Richard Hammond and James May.
The 65-year-old now lives in his Cotswold mansion that he shares with long-term partner Lisa Hogan.
He was granted planning permission for his new mega mansion back in 2013 having received no objections from his neighbours.
The Clarkson’s Farm star was to build a luxurious, six-bedroom mansion on his 1,000-acre farm Diddly Squat Farm which he bought in 2008.
Mr Clarkson told the Sunday Times in November 2021: “As the builders were supposed to have finished at the end of July, I’d had plenty of time to do all the necessary shopping.
“I’d done a thorough trawl of Peter Jones to buy all the kitchen and bedroomy things I’d need, and in addition I’d been to various house sales and to a place called Lorfords, in Tetbury, which is two gigantic hangars full of a billion things I wanted.
“Including an 8ft-long model of a French railway station.”
But the move-in day was less than smooth, the columnist said, because the banister wasn’t fitted, the wallpaper man had “gone on holiday” and both the joiner and the electricians had “gone Awol (absent without official leave)”.
Plans submitted to West Oxfordshire District Council at the time showed he had planning permission for a cinema, laundry room, pantry and bathroom in the basement.
On the ground floor, Mr Clarkson’s home is said to come with a utility room, a large kitchen, office and a hall leading to another hallway for the stairs.
The plans also show a sitting room and an orangery.
Upstairs on the first floor is a main bedroom, which leads into a separate bathroom and dressing room as well as a loggia – a covered, open-sided gallery or corridor, often found in Italian Renaissance architecture.
There are three other bedrooms, all equipped with their own en-suite.
In the attic is a further en-suite equipped bedrooms as well as a games room.
Craig Hamilton Architects, tasked by Mr Clarkson to design the structure of the home, said in a planning statement: “The current proposed house has been conceived as a modest country house or gentrified farmhouse which gives the appearance of having grown over time.
“This has the advantage of breaking up the volumes of the proposed house.”
Craig Hamilton added: “The south wing, with its formal front, is modelled on 18th and early 19th Century farmhouses and modest country houses which were gentrified at that time, often retaining the more utilitarian service wings in a simpler form tucked behind the formal facades.
“This is a model which was used throughout England on many farmhouses and country houses.”
