Eddie Redmayne's £4.25m Country Retreat: A Forever Home in the Making
ROYAL SCOOP
Eddie Redmayne's Dream Home: A Secluded Paradise with Pool and Tennis Court!
The Oscar-winning actor has finally found his forever home in Wiltshire, England! Eddie Redmayne, 43, and wife Hannah, 42, have splurged £4.25 million on a stunning nine-bedroom Grade II-listed mansion set amidst 18 acres of picturesque land.
The power couple is now gearing up to renovate their new pad, which will feature a pool and tennis court among its many luxuries. Wiltshire Council has given the green light for the project, praising the plans as "well designed" and "sympathetic" to the property's original charm.
But wait, there's more! Eddie and Hannah are planning to overhaul the exterior of the house by repairing and re-pointing brickwork, re-roofing, and installing wood fibre insulation. And inside? They'll be refurbishing wooden flooring, replacing the boiler with ground-source heat pumps, and giving the whole place a fresh new look.
The royal treatment awaits Eddie and Hannah once they move in – but not before their children Iris, 9, and Luke, 7, have claimed their own territory within the sprawling estate!
HARRY'S FIRST KISS STEALS THE SHOW

The 40-year-old beauty, married to Ollie Birkbeck, 52, brought the house down with her daring getup.
Other partygoers included Queen Camilla's son Tom Parker Bowles, Lady Lara Somerleyton, and James Tollemache – whose 21st birthday party saw Prince William dancing in his boxer shorts (before jumping into a moat at his Suffolk estate, Helmingham Hall, no less!)

PRINCE WILLIAM'S KILT-LESS EXISTENCE
In a shocking revelation, Prince William has refused to don a kilt despite being King of Scotland one day! But King Charles's godson, Prince Constantine-Alexios, 26, was more than happy to slip into Scottish attire on a trip to Edinburgh. The Greek prince joined friends including Flynn Busson, 27 (son of supermodel Elle Macpherson), donning a red kilt and sporran.
