Adele graduates to luxury British mansion

For a girl who has lived most of her life in small apartments and bedsits, Adele’s new home is quite a change of scenery.  The 23 year old singer has recently taken up residence in a ten bedroom, Grade 2 listed mansion in the Home Counties at a rent of £15,000 per month.

It’s a far cry from the flat above the This, That and The Other discount store in West Norwood where the singer lived with her mother Penny at the start of her career.  However, the multi-award winning singer’s new pad is fit for a pop princess.

£6 million mansion the new home of music’s biggest star

The West Sussex estate is set in 25 acres and features both inside and outside swimming pools along with tennis courts, a self-contained staff cottage and its own helicopter landing pad.  It also boasts stunning views of the South Downs.

The property sold for £1.8 million in 2004 and is said to be worth £6 million.  The Daily Mail reports that the red brick property ‘was built at the end of the 19th century and was originally designed as an aristocratic family house with its own ballroom.’

The property originally belonged to the wealthy Harvey family. Their daughter was the first wife of Donald Campbell, who was killed in 1967 while trying to break the world water speed record in Bluebird K7.  It was briefly converted into a convent in the Seventies where it was extended to include a private chapel.

The six time Grammy award winner has even invited Anderson Cooper, the doyen of U.S. TV celebrity interviewers, to tour her spectacular new home.  She is seen cooking cakes for the American in her huge kitchen and gives Cooper a tour of hew new bedroom which features a marble fireplace, elaborate floral murals and marble washbasins.
