Teenage Darts Prodigy Luke Littler Moves to Luxurious New Home

Rising darts star Luke Littler, aged 17, has made headlines once again, this time for his move into a luxurious new home. The young sensation, already a World Series winner, has taken up residence in a lavish five-bedroom detached property in a picturesque village on the outskirts of his hometown, Warrington, Cheshire. The rental for this new abode is reported to be £6,000 a month.

Littler, affectionately nicknamed ‘The Nuke’, appears to have brought his family along to share in his success. He has reportedly moved his parents, Anthony Buckley and Lisa Littler, from their previous £180,000 two-bedroom semi-detached house to his new home, which boasts a pool, a large garden, and six bathrooms. The move reflects the rapid ascent of Littler, who burst onto the darts scene at 16 and has accumulated an estimated net worth of £600,000.

The village’s local pub, The Cat and Lion, is enthused by their new neighbor. Deputy Manager Lauren Gilchrist expressed excitement about the possibility of Littler visiting, saying, “He’d be more than welcome at the pub anytime. We get a lot of young people coming in now wanting to play darts because of Luke’s success.” She noted the increasing popularity of darts among local youth, inspired by Littler’s achievements.

Luke’s ascent in the sport has not only brought him financial success but has also gathered a following at local venues. Last January, his performance in the World Darts Championship created ‘Littler mania’ as supporters rallied to cheer him on. Despite falling short in his last championship run, Littler is gearing up to compete again this December, right before his 18th birthday.

Barry Hearn, the former PDC Chairman, commented on Littler’s promising career, suggesting he could become a millionaire given his current trajectory. Hearn remarked on his show, “There are darts players out there already earning well over £1 million – £2 million a year. That is where the sport has got to… for Luke and the sport, it is just the beginning.”

In personal developments, Littler recently became the center of a humorous live-streaming incident that hinted at a possible new romance. During an online gaming session, an unidentified female voice was heard, prompting playful speculation from fellow players about the identity of the voice. This occurred a few months after his split with girlfriend Eloise Milburn, a constant presence during his earlier matches.
