The celebrity chef, 59, offers a look inside his lavish home in his new Netflix docuseries, to show how he's transformed the property after beginning the works in 2022.
In clips from his six-part show, Gordon showed how he's turned the kitchen from dark green to a dark wood and sleek marble design.
He and Tana originally purchased the property in 2002 for £2.8 million.
The Kitchen Nightmares star's kitchen also boasts floor-to-ceiling glass doors that lead out into the garden, which formed part of the big-money extension that was originally planned for the home.

The plans previously revealed that Gordon was set to demolish his whole ground floor to add an extension with a modern glass design, to house his open plan kitchen, living and dining room.

The living room, which featured in interviews with Gordon's family in the documentary, also featured vast bookcases and low-level lighting.
Gordon and Tana were previously forced to vacate their home in 2022 while extensive renovations were made.

The couple share children Megan, 27, twins Holly and Jack, 26, and Tilly, 24, Oscar, six, and Jesse, two.
Now worth £7million, the home has undergone a number of renovations over the years, including a single storey outbuilding in the garden and a temporary pig enclosure.
Plans submitted to the council were approved in July 2021 and stated work would begin in September 2021 and end in December 2022. Yet the mammoth renovations - which included an extension and structural overhaul - rumbled on until 2024.
During this time he was said to be staying at a luxury flat in the new Battersea Power Station development costing about £12,000 a month.
As the family returned to the home in 2024, it had emerged that Gordon had also won a planning battle to build new security gates.

In documents lodged with the local council, Gordon asked for new timber ones instead of steel.

Gordon's planning agents said the revised gate plans would be 'more in keeping with streetscape and enhancing the appearance of the conservation area.'

His family home is in a conservation area, areas of special architectural and historic interest. In these areas, special planning controls are applied to developments in a bid to preserve their character and appearance.
He won permission to undertake extensive renovations to his London pad in 2021 and permission for steel gates was included at the time.
Council officials turned down a first 'non material amendment' application in February, which is used for very minor changes to developments.
They asked him to submit a different type of application as the plans would impact the conservation area.
In the initial application, officers said: 'Overall, the proposed amendments are considered to be material to the original planning consent, and a planning application or variation of condition application would therefore be required.'

After considering a second 'variation of condition' application, officials then said: 'The proposed timber entrance gates would be the same height as the previously approved gates, and their materiality would reflect the existing gates at the property and that at the neighbouring property.
'The proposed amendment to the entrance gates is therefore considered acceptable and would not harm the character or appearance of the conservation area.'
The documents reveal the gates 'will match' one of Gordon's neighbours' properties who have similar designed ones.
The Hells Kitchen star has been undertaking an extensive overhaul of his multi-million-pound London property, which is set to include a wine store and a master bedroom that takes over an entire floor.
He also wanted to remove a brick pattern from his front garden wall.

Gordon's extensive property transformation included adding 76 square meters to their family home.
In the basement, the celebrity chef has room for another en-suite bedroom, a study, a plant room, a boot room and a shower room.
The basement also included a glass well in the design, in order to let natural light flow through the property.
Under the plans for the South London property, the chef also demolished his whole ground floor to add an extension with a modern glass design, which will house his open plan kitchen, living and dining room.
As well as altering the entry and basement levels of his property, Gordon has also refurbished the second floor of his home and adding a new wall and garage.

Planning agents for the chef argue the plans would 'create a functional layout throughout the house, allowing for greater room sizes while optimising living accommodation and opportunities on the site'.
Construction for the extension started in September 2021, but workers have been restricted to using 'non-machinery' tools for parts of the renovation due to the property being in a conversation area.
There was also a Purple Beach tree at the front of the home which is said to be under a tree preservation order, while other trees in the garden are in root protection areas.
A survey said demolition and excavation work should be 'undertaken manually with hand held non-mechanical tools' and that construction workers would need an 'induction' on how to work around the trees.
The celebrity chef held meetings with his neighbours about the large-scale building works, and his representatives added in planning documents: 'Meetings have been held with the owners to discuss the proposals and no adverse comments have been received.'

The chef lodged plans in 2019 to place the log cabins in his back garden to create more living space for friends and family to stay in.
The luxury cabins, costing £40,000 each, have three outside windows, a small door and are clad in spruce shingles and plywood battens.
Other details include a glass balcony from the kitchen that overlooks and goes out onto the sprawling garden, which has an immaculate lawn (Oscar pictured in February)
As his Netflix series finally hit screens, Gordon was seen making his way to BBC Studios on Wednesday

Meanwhile, inside, the luxury pods include a fully functional kitchen, double bed, electric heating, a shower, storage, power points and a TV cable. They are made in Estonia before being shipped to the UK.
Gordon is following a trend set by David Beckham and Guy Ritchie, who brought similar 'igloo-style' huts from the same Estonian suppliers and had them placed at their country homes in Oxfordshire and Wiltshire.
The cabins known as the 'Model 4', are positioned facing each other at the bottom of the sizeable garden of the eight-bedroom Victorian home he shares with his Tana and their four older children Megan, 25, twins Jack and Holly, 23, Matilda, 21 and Oscar.
The local council gave the plans the go-ahead but advised Gordon that he had to arrange a meeting with arboriculturalists who will visit to inspect his trees.

In 2022, Gordon sold one of his homes in Cornwall for £7.5m in what is believed to be the most expensive sale ever recorded in the county.
Daymer Bay House in Trebetherick, a property with six bedrooms, four bathrooms, a swimming pool and tennis court set on a hectare (2.5 acres) of land was sold in March last year. He paid £4.4m for the luxury seaside property in 2016.
The six-part docuseries follows Gordon, 57, open five culinary experiences in 22 Bishopsgate, a 278-metre building in central London, with a budget of £20million.
It also gives a sneak peek into his personal life with his wife Tana and their six children.
