Millionaire accountant faces court after refusing to tear down UKs biggest man cave boasting casi

A MILLIONAIRE accountant faces a court order to tear down the ultimate man cave - a 10,000 square foot leisure centre built into his home.

Bentley-driving Graham Wildin is being hauled before the High Court in Cardiff to explain why he has ignored requests from Forest of Dean District Council to demolish the building - which contains a cinema, squash court, and tenpin bowling alley.

The council applied for an injunction forcing Mr Wildin to comply with their notice after he missed their deadline to pull it down by a YEAR.

He was originally given until July 7th 2017 to pull down the building at his home, 24B Meendhurst Road.

The personal leisure centre was built at the back of his six-bed home and is boxed in by three other properties.

The 25ft outbuilding even contains a casino, a three-storey doll's house, a soft play area, indoor tennis and badminton courts., and a fully-functional bar.

Mr Wildin, 63, has defiantly stated “It’s not coming down. That is definite."

He went on "For a start you can’t physically knock it down because there is no access. To get to it you would have to demolish other buildings which do not belong to me.

Dad-of-three Mr Wildin argues that because the leisure complex was dug 18ft into the ground it does not cause a visual impediment to neighbours of his six bedroom home.

But the planners ruled the building was a ’bulky structure’ and ’totally out of scale and proportion with the surrounding development’.
