Is this the new Beckingham Palace?
David and Victoria Beckham have been house hunting for a while, and there have been reports that they have found a property they're keen on. It's an incredible home, worth an astounding £27 million, and the photos show there's an awful lot for the money.
At the moment the Beckhams haven't said they have the slightest interest in the property, so the rumours that they are planning to buy The Abbotswood Estate in Stow-on-the-Wold are pure speculation.
It's worth pointing out that it's the second house in the area that has been touted as a potential new Beckingham Palace, but this one is in a league of its own. If they choose to buy it, it's an exceptional property.
The main house has ten bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a number of sitting rooms, dining rooms, studies and a games room.
It's also on an enormous private estate, with 13 cottages, a farm, lakes, parkland, woodland and a river - plus some extraordinary formal gardens.

It would be an interesting choice for the couple, because it would offer a great deal of privacy, but there are few of the normal luxuries you associate with footballers - and no pool.
The Daily Express was the first paper to suggest this could be the new home of the Beckham family, while the Daily Mail reported a spokesman who said he didn't believe the family were interested in the estate.
Given that they already have a £31.5 million home in London, it would seem like quite an extravagance. It would cost the earth for the family to run two incredible homes so near to one another.
They might be rolling in money - and they may officially be richer than the Queen - but that's no guarantee that this is how they will choose to spend their millions.
But what do you think? Is this the new Beckingham Palace, or is this just the rumour mill getting ahead of itself?
