Taylor Swift will need slippers to stay over at Matty Healy's concrete love nest

Taylor Swift will have to pack her slippers to stay over at new boyfriend Matty Healy's home.

The 1975 star has a concrete love nest in North West London that is so bare and cold it makes Kim Kardashian 's infamous beige Californian mansion feel cosy.

The Japanese-style three-bedroom property set Matty back £1.25million and has barely a drop of paint, no carpets… and concrete slabs instead of bed frames.

Designer Takero Shimazaki said the goal was to have an "immediate sense of almost monastic calm" and to create a "refuge within the city".

In contrast to the concrete ­interior, the outside is made from chestnut – while the minimal furnishings include antique French sinks, large windows and four garden doors all leading to a pebble courtyard that features a large tree.

The aesthetic was inspired by the 1819 JMW Turner painting Interior of an Italian Church… although Taylor's Blank Space seems more fitting.

Matty's man-cave – just three miles from Taylor's former Primrose Hill home, which she rented with actor ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn before their shock split – could not be more different to her usual tastes.

Her £118m property portfolio includes eight homes across LA, Nashville and New York that are decidedly maximalist in their decor – with mismatched furniture, vibrant colours, grand antiques and kitsch touches.

While little was revealed of her Primrose Hill home, she lived within comfortable jogging distance of exes Harry Styles and Tom Hiddleston.

At least this time there's a 20-minute bike ride between them…
