Local firefighters were called to tackle a blaze on an outbuilding of Jamie Vardy’s plush Lincolnshire mansion on Thursday afternoon.
It is believed a fire, which originated from the Leicester City striker’s outdoor gym was put out by the fire service, but not before major damage was sustained.
A statement from the local fire service told LincolnshireLive: “Firefighters were called to reports of an outbuilding on fire at premises in Water Lane, Stainby at 3.20pm on January 19.
“The fire resulted in severe damage to 90 per cent of a wooden outbuilding being used as a gym and the equipment.”

Rebekah paid tribute to the responding fire fighters, posting on social media: “Every cloud and all that. Thankfully no one was hurt…. Buildings and contents are replaceable and the kiddies enjoyed the fire engines. Thank you for being so brilliant @lincolnshirefirerescue.”
The Vardys’ luxurious mansion has an indoor pool, a sauna, a tennis court, and a gym. The once eight-bedroom home was given permission to be extended by adding a major four-bedroom extension in 2020.
Last year, the couple submitted plans to build a stable complex on a vast amount of land near their property. Plans include a yard, stables and paddock over a total area of 5,482 sq. metres.
The proposal was described as ‘change of use from agricultural paddock to equestrian including new stable building and yard for residential purposes only.’
