For a girl who has lived most of her life in small
apartments and bedsits, Adeleââ¬â¢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 ã15,000 per month.
Itââ¬â¢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 singerââ¬â¢s new pad is fit for a pop
princess.

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 ã1.8 million in 2004 and is said to be
worth ã6 million. The Daily Mail reports that the red brick
property ââ¬Ëwas built at the end of the 19th century and was originally designed
as an aristocratic family house with its own ballroom.ââ¬â¢
