Beyoncé and Jay-Z are set to expand their property empire with a move into the English countryside.
Reports confirm the couple are close to buying a 58-acre site near Wigginton in the Cotswolds, a region known for its rolling hills and privacy.
The site already comes with planning permission for a large luxury home, giving the stars a ready-made opportunity to build their UK home.
The UK plot Beyoncé and Jay-Z are buying
According to The Times, the couple are in the final stages of purchasing a £7.5 million estate near Wigginton.
The property covers 58 acres and includes a lake and rural surroundings, offering both space and seclusion.
Unlike their other homes in Los Angeles and Malibu, this land is reportedly undeveloped, with only a rundown building currently on the site.
What planning permission exists?
The land already has planning permission for a new home, which removes one of the biggest obstacles for development.
The approved design is for a large, self-build country house with seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, positioned by the lake.
This means Beyoncé and Jay-Z would be able to start work on a major rural estate without needing to go through the planning process themselves.
Why a UK house now?
Sources close to the couple have reportedly told The Times that they remain based in Los Angeles but want a secure and spacious UK base.
Environmental issues like California wildfires have supposedly made them consider other locations, and the Cotswolds offers privacy, land, and proximity to London for Beyoncé’s music career.
A permanent UK home would also be beneficial now with Beyoncé having a tour from 2025-2026 in the UK and would make touring in Europe more comfortable than relying on hotels.
