Ms Williams, a crafty property developer from Birkdale village, made headlines when she listed her seven-bedroom home with Rightmove. This very special space has a special “project room” that includes a truly awesome ball pit! The redevelopment, listed at £799,995, drew international outrage on social media following a post from the account Housing Horrors.
>The ball pit, made from an astounding 11,300 plastic balls, was actually hand built by Williams himself. In March 2024, she purchased the colorful spheres. Her muse was model and actress Cara Delevingne, known for installing a ball pit in her former Los Angeles residence. Williams said she was happy to make the ball pit an atypical and colorful escape.
“Instead of a weekend away I built a ball pit. It is so relaxing,” – Julie Williams
The project room, which is an interesting shape and placed just off the master bedroom, has its own independent mini-staircase. At first, Williams had planned on turning the space into a restroom. On the heels of Delevingne’s risky design decisions, Jones realized that maybe even a ball pit could be whimsical enough to work.
That was the first time she ever jumped into a ball pit, and they all poured rosé champagne from half-bottles. This whimsical celebration brought out the playful spirit that inspired this whimsical touch to her home. The vibrant space functions as a personal retreat for Williams, providing her a place to unwind and decompress from the stresses of everyday life.
“If I’m having a bad day, I just hop in the ball pit,” – Cara Delevingne
The impact of Delevingne’s home design can already be seen. Architectural Digest previously described her abode as a blend of “St-Tropez meets Coney Island meets Cotswolds cottage meets Monte Carlo meets butch leather bar.” Delevingne’s home is adorned with weird and colorful objects, emphasizing her vibrant personality. There are immersive spaces including a costume room and vibe cave for dress-up parties, trampolines, and even a secret “vagina tunnel.”
After hearing Delevingne’s assertion, Williams was motivated to make a ball pit of his own. As she put it, “You know, you can’t really cry in a ball pit. The playful nature of the ball pit has led Williams to suggest that it serves as an innovative relaxation method for parents.
“It’s great. This is the new relaxation method for mums and dads. Get a ball pit and hide away from the children,” – Julie Williams
The house has unexpectedly sparked a bidding war among hopeful homebuyers. Williams has indicated that new owners takes the ball pit and its huge collection of balls with them if they want! This strange property makes it unique in an unlikely way. Its unique aspect is it is beautifully located in leafy Birkdale village.
