British-musician Robbie Williams and his American actress-wife, Ayda, purchased the stunning Compton Bassett House in Wiltshire, England on 72 acres in 2009 for just over $11 million, as a family home for them and their children and where they could enjoy entertaining and live away from prying eyes.
Even though the couple bought the home from the renowned architect-and-designer Sir Norman Foster, who had already completed his own renovations, the couple put it back on the market in 2010. Robbie reportedly sensed a ‘strange presence’ in his daughter’s bedroom and promptly moved her to another location. However, ten years on, one person’s discomfort with the supernatural and hyperactive spirits is still another person's opportunity to capitalize on the situation.
Nestling on the edge of a small village, Compton Bassett House is a remarkable period house, recently restored to an exemplary standard with superb indoor pool and magical gardens. The house has 2 staff flats and a cottage. Approached via a sweeping drive through attractive parkland, Compton Bassett House is an exceptional country house nestled within its own land.
The accommodation comprises: 4 reception rooms, master bedroom suite, 2 children’s bedroom suites and 4 additional bedroom suites with sitting rooms. The leisure complex is of an exceptional standard, with a gym, indoor swimming pool extending to over 73ft in length, hot tub, steam room, sauna and changing rooms.
Ancillary accommodation comprises 2 staff flats and a detached cottage. Outside there is integrated garaging, helicopter hangar and workshop. The immaculate gardens and grounds include a walled garden with pavilion, water feature and tennis court. There is a grass football pitch, paddocks and woodland. In all about 71.55 acres.
The Williams mansion is currently for sale, priced at £6.75 million, listed with Knight Frank.
