Mawgan Porth in Cornwall, where Hollywood stars Cate Blanchett, Jason Momoa and Jason Statham, as well as Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, all have holiday homes, is becoming increasingly expensive to live in
Residents of a seaside village dubbed âHollywood-on-Sea’ say they can no longer afford to live there after seeing a string of A-list celebrities snapping up properties.
Locals living in Mawgan Porth, in Cornwall, say second homeowners, including Hollywood celebs, are ruining their picturesque area by turning it into a ‘building site’. They claim the influx of millionaire buyers has hiked up prices and historic properties are being flattened and rebuilt into California-style houses.
Hollywood stars Cate Blanchett, Jason Momoa and Jason Statham, as well as Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, all have holiday homes in the idyllic location. Villagers revealed they can also bump into the likes of Kate Winslet and Noel Gallagher on the beach.
The celeb invasion is leading some to be forced out of the area due to the inflated cost, residents have claimed, leaving the village feeling like a ‘ghost town’ in the winter months. Others revealed they can have wealthy property hunters knocking on their doors offering millions of pounds for their homes even when they aren’t up for sale.
