Robbie Williams offloads sprawling country estate
Pop icon Robbie Williams appears to have sold his opulent English estate just four months after it hit the market.
The 47-year-old made headlines in late September last year after listing Compton Bassett House for sale with a hefty price tag of $12.7 million.
Located in the sleepy village of Compton Bassett, about 170 kilometres away from London’s CBD, Williams’ seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion features some quite lavish features.
With 1800 square metres of living space, the home comes with ‘standard’ inclusions such as a chef’s kitchen, vaulted ceilings, chandeliers and luxury fixtures throughout, topped off with a ‘leisure-complex’ on the lower floor of the house which includes a gym, sauna, steam room, and a 22-metre-long pool and spa.
The home also boasts a huge wine cellar, while the 28.3-hectate property includes a tennis court and accompanying summer house, a full-size soccer pitch, quad-bike trail, guest cottage, and a one-bedroom apartment that can serve as staff quarters.
Since the Angels singer also owns his own helicopter, it should come as no surprise that his former home also features a helipad and separate hangar.
As luxe as the Compton Bassett House is, it is just as historic, with some parts of the building dating back to 1659.
Williams bought the home in 2008, spending roughly $2 million more than he received from its sale.
Despite the loss, $12.7 million is still a sizable sum that few could complain about.
