Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z are set to splash out on a spectacular rural estate in the Cotswolds.
The musical pair become the latest US stars to set up home in the rural British hotspot.
The Daily Mail reports that Beyoncé and her husband are in the final stages of purchasing 58 acres of land on the outskirts of Wigginton, after receiving planning permission to build a home there.
Owain Jones, a property consultant who has been dealing with the sale of the land, revealed that the guide price for the land was $10 million (£7.5 million), but once the estate has been built, it is likely to "be worth north of $24 million (£18 million)".
Branding the Cotswolds the "Hamptons of the UK", he told the outlet: "From the discretion of nearby familiar members' clubs such as Soho Farmhouse and Estelle Manor to the organic offerings of Daylesford Farm, this location places you at the heart of the Cotswolds' most refined community."
Describing stars who descend on the Cotswolds as the "Chipping Norton Set", buying agents have said big names looking to relocate to the area have turned it into the most fashionable countryside to be in.
If the couple seal the deal, they will be a stone's throw away from Great Tew, where a string of stars already reside.
The Beckham family and Ellen DeGeneres are among those who have already set up homes in the countryside.
Earlier this summer, Beyoncé and Jay-Z took a helicopter ride to view a mansion in the Oxfordshire hotspot.
