JLS star Oritsé Williams' former £3million home which was ravaged by fire is ... trends now
JLS star Oritsé Williams former home which was ravaged by fire is being redeveloped into a luxury home, MailOnline can reveal.
The singer made a loss of £2.5 million after selling his Croydon mansion for just £500,000 four years ago.
Oritsé purchased the mansion, once owned by comedian Ronnie Corbett for more than 30 years, for £3milllion in 2011 and five years ago a devastating fire destroyed the property in a suspected arson attack.
Aerial photographs previously taken in 2020 showed the decrepit mansion with a collapsed roof, blown out windows and gutted interior.
Now new owners have taken on the property with photos showing the home rising from the ashes.

The exterior of the property is being completely rebuilt with new modern windows fitted whilst the burnt out roof has been restored with elegant maroon tiling.
Solar panels have also been fitted to the sprawling property which is currently a building site.
Previously, the roof of the house had been completely gutted by fire, the house was covered in black mould and grass could be seen growing through the carpet of the hallway staircase.
The outdoor swimming pool also appears to be undergoing redevelopment alongside parts of the back garden.
Meanwhile, construction materials can be seen piled on the ground which surrounds the mansion as the new owners put their stamp on the property.

Planning applications seen by MailOnline show the property includes a games room, shrine and cinema in the new renovation plans.
A first application was lodged for alterations including the erection of a rear roof extension. This saw the roof restored after the property was impacted by fire.
A second application proposed the erection of single-storey rear extension and the erection of new pool house. This was refused by London Borough of Croydon who branded it 'inappropriate development'.
The new owners then lodged a third development application for a new single storey extension which was granted.
