Cate Blanchett’s home renovation is making “lives a misery” for her Cornish neighbours

Cate Blanchett’s home in Cornwall has made lives for her neighbours a “misery”, according to reports.The actor bought a cottage in the village of Mawgan Porth with her husband Andrew Upton for £1.6million in 2020, before demolishing it to build a modern five-bedroom home.Nearby residents however have said they are being disturbed by the noisy building work, along with huge lorries which deliver supplies to the house on narrow lanes.Speaking to The Sun, one neighbour said: “When you open a window you hear drilling. It makes our lives a misery.”“All summer we’ve had lorries delivering materials to the building site and driving up and down this narrow lane while there are excited children running to and from the beach – it’s a recipe for disaster,” another resident told The Times.“Every time you open the window you can hear drilling or huge equipment moving around, it’s making our lives a constant misery.”Marzouk Al-Bader, director of Watershedd, the architect responsible for the construction of the property, said they have been “in regular communication” with the neighbours to ensure they are aware of the work taking place.“Andrew Upton and Cate Blanchett have received planning consent for a sustainable replacement home in Mawgan Porth,” Al-Bader said.
