Pregnant Cheryl’s boyfriend Liam Payne converting garage in his huge mansion into a luxury new granny annex

The One Direction singer is transforming part of his home ahead of the birth

LIAM Payne is converting his garage into a luxury granny annex before his girlfriend Cheryl gives birth to their baby in the coming weeks.

The One Direction star, 23, is adding separate living accommodation to his huge mansion in the south east of England, which will mean visitors can come and go as they please when they stay with the couple.

Using his current detached, double garage, which stands alongside his swish five-bedroom house, Liam wants to add a giant master bedroom up in its roof space.

The star also has plans for a large walk-in wardrobe and a fancy en-suite bathroom, with top of the range fixtures and fittings.

On top of that, Liam is considering adding a small kitchenette downstairs, meaning visitors will be able to stay over whenever they want.

A source exclusively told The Sun Online: “Liam’s plans mean that visitors will have somewhere luxurious to stay once the baby arrives.

“By converting the garage, it means Cheryl and Liam can have a helping hand while also having a bit of breathing space. It’s the best of both worlds.”

Liam snapped up his mansion in January 2015 for a cool £5.1 million.

And while fans will no doubt speculate if Cheryl's mum Joan will stay in the annex when she stays with her daughter, a source told The Sun Online: "Joan’s home is in Newcastle and has no plans to move in with Cheryl and Liam. She will come and visit them but she will not move in and Cheryl has not asked her to."

It already has a dance studio, pool house and tennis court, complete with basketball hoop.

Meanwhile, earlier this week, a removal lorry was spotted outside Cheryl’s Hertfordshire home.

It had previously been reported that Cheryl and Liam had decided to raise their baby in Surrey.

Meanwhile, ending months of speculation, Cheryl finally confirmed her pregnancy last week in a new photo shoot for a Prince’s Trust and L’Oreal collaboration.
