At just 17, Luke Littler, affectionately dubbed “The Nuke” for his explosive darts performances, has notched another remarkable win—this time off the oche. The Warrington-born sensation, who has taken the darts world by storm, has moved into a lavish five-bedroom mansion on the exclusive ‘Millionaires Row’ in Cheshire, a leafy enclave on the outskirts of his hometown. Renting the sprawling property for a reported £6,000 per month, Littler’s new home marks a dramatic leap from his humble beginnings and underscores his meteoric rise as one of Britain’s most promising young athletes.
The luxurious detached residence, a far cry from the modest two-bedroom semi-detached house where Littler grew up, boasts an array of high-end amenities. A sparkling swimming pool, six bathrooms, and a vast garden provide the perfect backdrop for the teenager’s newfound success. In a heartwarming gesture, Littler has brought his parents, Anthony Buckley, 43, and Lisa Littler, 40, along to share in the opulence, ensuring the close-knit family enjoys the rewards of his achievements together. Their former home, valued at £180,000, now feels like a distant chapter as they settle into a lifestyle befitting a sporting prodigy.
Littler, who made history as the youngest winner in World Series darts, remains refreshingly grounded despite his rapid ascent. He recently gave fans a glimpse into his new digs, posting on Instagram from the poolside where he lounged while watching Manchester United on a massive outdoor screen. Captioning the moment “Super Sunday,” the teenager’s down-to-earth charm continues to resonate with supporters who have followed his journey from local talent to global star. “He’s still the same Luke,” a Warrington local remarked, reflecting the community’s pride in their homegrown hero.
The move hasn’t just transformed Littler’s life but has also brought joy to his family. Anthony and Lisa have embraced their new surroundings, sharing lighthearted photos of themselves in the pool, with their French bulldog, Nala, keeping watch from a cozy blanket nearby. For a family that has remained tightly knit through Littler’s whirlwind career, the new home symbolizes a shared triumph, a testament to their unwavering support during his rise to fame.
Despite the upgrade, Littler’s connection to Warrington remains unshaken. His new neighborhood, just 25 minutes from his childhood haunts, keeps him close to the community that has cheered him on since his early days. The area even caters to his well-documented love for doner kebabs, with three kebab shops within a mile of his new home, ensuring his cravings are never far from reach. “Luke’s still one of us,” said a local shop owner, who noted the teenager’s occasional visits to his old favorite spots.
The buzz around Littler extends to the local pub, The Cat and Lion, where excitement is palpable. Deputy Manager Lauren Gilchrist expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of Littler dropping by for a game of darts. “He’d be more than welcome in the pub any time,” she said, highlighting the surge in young players inspired by Littler’s success. “We get a lot of young people coming in now wanting to play darts because of Luke.” The pub’s landlord recently added a second dartboard to accommodate the growing enthusiasm, a direct nod to the ‘Littler mania’ that swept the venue during last January’s World Darts Championship, where locals packed the bar to cheer their star to the final.
As Littler prepares for another shot at the World Darts Championship title in December 2025, just weeks shy of his 18th birthday, his financial trajectory is as impressive as his sporting one. With an estimated net worth of £600,000, the teenager is on track to become a millionaire before he can legally order a pint, according to Barry Hearn, former Chairman of the Professional Darts Corporation. “I think it could be this year,” Hearn predicted, speaking on his namesake show. “I’d be surprised if he didn’t, to be honest with you. There are darts players out there already earning well over £1m – £2m per year as it is.” Hearn’s confidence reflects the sport’s growing commercial allure, with Littler poised to capitalize on lucrative sponsorships and prize money.
Littler’s story is one of talent, humility, and a deep-rooted connection to his roots. His new home on Millionaires Row is more than a symbol of success—it’s a testament to his ability to balance fame with family, all while inspiring a new generation of darts players. As he eyes future titles and navigates the pressures of stardom, Warrington’s prodigy remains a beacon of what’s possible when skill meets heart. With the darts world watching and his community cheering, Luke Littler’s next chapter promises to be as electrifying as his last.
