He fought neighbours and planners for a decade to build this £10million ultra-modern home in the Cotswolds.
Now it appears Rowan Atkinson has given up the controversial property to his ex-wife – after leaving her for a younger woman.
The Mr Bean star, worth £100million, is believed to have forfeited the Oxfordshire mansion as part of a divorce settlement with former BBC make-up artist Sunetra Sastry, 55.

Meanwhile Atkinson, 63, is living with his new love – 34-year-old actress Louise Ford – and their new baby in his £5million property in Hampstead, north London.
The modernist Cotswolds estate, filled with hi-tech gadgets, comes with an underground garage for the Blackadder star’s fleet of supercars.

Friends said they were surprised Atkinson was willing to give it up ‘his life’s work’ when he ended his 24-year marriage to Miss Sastry in 2016.
A spokesman refused to comment.
