It was reported earlier this month that Ant and wife , 46, were moving out of the in Wimbledon, South West London.
It came after locals accused the couple of wanting to chop down six “healthy” trees in their garden.
Ant and Anne-Marie had gained permission from the local council to fell the trees last February – despite the fact they were protected by a Tree Preservation Order.
A neighbour who objected to the decision said “no justification” had been given – except for “the applicant’s wish to allow re-landscaping of part of their garden”.
Ant and Anne-Marie, who share one-year-old son Wilder, later revised their planning application to keep the trees – but they eventually decided to leave altogether.
They were said to have pumped “hundreds of thousands of pounds” into the property, which Ant bought with no in 2018.
He and Anne-Marie moved in together in 2019 – a year after they got together following his split from ex-wife , 49.
The three-storey pad has a cinema, swimming pool and five reception rooms.
Now The Sun can reveal Ant has sold it to Scots businessman Sir Fraser Morrison and his wife Patricia.
Sir Fraser and his wife are listed on Land Registry forms as the purchasers of the house, which is believed to have been sold for around £6million.
Sir Fraser made his fortune selling his family-owned firm Morrison Construction for £263million in 2000.
That year, he was named as the second-richest person in Scotland by The Sunday Times with earnings in excess of £23million – behind only Harry Potter author .
A rep for Ant previously insisted he and Anne-Marie had moved out for “family reasons” rather than planning issues.
