The Daily Mail reports that Ozzy Osbourne has applied for permission for a “rehabilitation” wing at his historic home in Buckinghamshire, England to assist him in living with Parkinson’s disease.
The extension will feature “an abundance of stopping and sitting” spaces, “discreet grab rails and aids” and “soft non-slip surfaces” as well as a self-contained nurse’s flat. There is also a “pool house orangery”, “garden room” and a “health and welfare exercise studio”.
Architect Lynne Walker writes in the plans that “it is the ambition that the design creates a transition of flowing inside outside garden spaces, largely lit by natural light with folding doors opening up views.”
Ozzy and his wife/manager Sharon left their home in Los Angeles to return to their native U.K. due to rising taxes in California last month.
“We are leaving L.A.,” he said, according to the Mirror. “We are a bit sad. But the tax is getting too much. I am sad because I really, really like staying and living there.”
He added: “If they do the taxes better, then I may come back. I do not know. I am taking my recording studio with me. I am going to build a barn there and make my own studio at Welders (the name of their UK home). I will still be making music and my band will come over.”
Ozzy and Sharon purchased the Welders House from two-time Academy Award-winning special effects legend John Stears back in 1993.
