 With
the time lapse and the age everyone expresses the idea to settle in one of the numerous
houses or chalets, whatever it is called, to spend the rest of time in harmony
with the pure and virgin nature. Those who cannot purchase the estate on islands
or do not feel like travelling that far,
are ready to buy villas and luxury castles located in picturesque suburbs of
Great Britain.
Roman
Abramovich is the owner to one of these villas who is the actual admirer of everything
made in England, from football teams to country villas. The estate Fyning Hill,
covering the 121 hectares is the entire set of various structures, consisting
of the main villa, six cottages and guest houses. In the territory of Fyning Hill
with the live fence for safety purposes there are gardens, a tennis court, a
lake, a swimming pool of a huge size and three fields for polo.
Robby
Williams is also the admirer of real estate in Britain. When he made his mind to
return from inhospitable States to the native England, he spent 7 million
pounds to purchase Compton Bassett House, the mansion of XVIII century located
in Wiltshire. This mansion consists of 7 bedrooms, a huge swimming pool, a
sauna, a helicopter platform and a guest cottage.
After
vast parties in fashionable clubs the supermodel Kate Moss goes to rest to her
country villa located in the small village Little Farringdon in Cotswold. The actresses
Elizabeth Hurley and Kate Winslet are neighbors to Kate Moss, and they also
prefer calm and peace of villas. Winslet became the owner of the ancient castle
in Cotswold in 2002 and paid 3,5 million pounds for that, a little bit more
than Elizabeth Hurley, who offered less though she bought the neighboring villa
little bit later.
Sir
Elton John spends his leisure time in the ancient country villa located in the
land of 15 hectares not far away from Windsor castle. Apart from the main building,
the territory welcomes green houses constructed in XVIII, green gardens, vast
tennis courts and terraces. Lots of celebrities arrive to his place every year
as members to the charitable ball party White Tie & Tiara.
The
other couple, the legendary footballer David Beckham and his spouse Victoria
left the native Great Britain over a year ago, however they arrive here several
times a year to have a rest in country villas in Hertfordshir. The luxury villa
that was ironically called Buckingham Palace by neighboring natives was
purchased for only 2.5 million pounds they paid in 1999. The modest interior of
the villa did not correspond the high requirement of Victoria who spent over 5
million pounds to renovate and equip the villa. And today, in view of the crisis
on the market of the British real estate, the cost of the country villa by Beckham
makes about 6,6 million pounds. One of the successful young British footballers,
Wayne Rooney, acquired the villa in Cheshire in 2004 for 4 million pounds. Soon
after Wayne and his spouse Collin made their minds to fully demolish the
building that was erected in 30s and construct the house of their ideal,
absolutely new and absolutely unique. The Rooneys spent some more million pounds
to build the structure and now the country villa is decorated with Greek
statues, a swimming pool of huge size, a cinema and gardens. Closed-Circuit Television System protects
Rooney and his family from paparazzi and just curious neighbors that cost 30
thousand pounds.
The
supermodel Claudia Schiffer from Germany so well adopted in al world capitals
chose Coldham Hall villa for permanent residence, located in Suffolk. The ancient
villa constructed in XVI century was acquired by Claudia and her husband
Matthew Vaughn, for 5 million pounds and they still live there, though the
supermodel owns other villas and houses in London, New York, Monte-Carlo and
Germany.
