Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce stayed in a £3.3m Great Tew property during the European leg of her Eras tour last summer.

Jay Z and Beyoncé are reportedly planning to build a seven-bedroom, nine bathroom mansion overlooking a lake.

It was reported earlier this year that the couple flew in by helicopter earlier this summer to view the site during a break on her Cowboy Carter tour.

The land was originally listed with a £7.5m guide price and could be worth over £18m once their property is finished.
