Inside Robbie Williams' 'haunted' £7 million mansion he can't sell

Inside Robbie Williams haunted 7 million mansion he cant sell
The former Take That star shares the home with his wife Ayda Field

Robbie Williams is struggling to sell his mansion - and there may be a spooky reason why.

The former Take That star put his Wiltshire home on the market six months ago. And despite huge interest, the house is yet to find a buyer willing to pay the £6.75 million price tag.

The 47-year-old pop star, who grew up in Staffordshire, is reportedly refusing to budge on the price tag after splashing out £8.1 million on the seven-bedroom property in 2009, StokeonTrentLive reports.

The house boasts its very own helicopter hangar, indoor swimming pool and leisure complex, as well as almost 70 acres of 'magical' gardens including paddocks and a tennis court.

There is even a 'temple', which no doubt proved an excellent feature for Robbie who is an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church ministry.

But the mansion may be hiding a secret, as Robbie has previously suggested that it could be haunted.

He said in a podcast: "It gives me the creeps. Teddy told me, 'That room scares me. I don’t like that house.'

"I said, 'It scares me too. You don’t have to sleep there anymore.’

"If there is great grief or great pain or tragedy, I think it can soak into the walls and leave an essence there that remains for a very, very long time."

However, Robbie has also previously gushed over the building, saying it is where he and Ayda Field – who he started dating in 2006 and married in 2010 – deeply fell in love with each other.

The couple has four children; Theodora, nine, Charlton, seven, Colette, three, and Beau, two.

Robbie said: "Compton Bassett House has been the perfect escape for our family.

"It is where Ayda and I truly fell in love, set roots as a couple, and dreamed of our future family.

"Since then, we have welcomed four beautiful children into the gracious rooms at Compton Bassett House, where we have shared much laughter and joy.

"The gardens and trees have enchanted us with their magic, and on rainy days - of which there are many in England - we have played and splashed around the indoor pool, much to our delight.

"Compton Bassett House is most definitely a family-friendly house that deserves to have much more laughter and joy within its beautiful walls. We hope the incoming purchaser will enjoy just as much as we have."

A source told the Daily Star: "It really is stunning, but it is just not being offered on. The price may be too high for the current climate of buyers.

"It doesn’t seem like he wants to come down from what it has been valued at. It is causing all sorts of headaches."

They added: "Online, the house is doing so well, everyone is clicking on it and wants to take a look around, but the reality is, it has been sat there six months now and it needs looking at because it’s not moving."

Robbie has built up an impressive multi-national property portfolio including an Alpine lodge in Switzerland, a detached home in London's Holland Park and a chic pad in Beverly Hills, LA.
