Homebuyers will need to be Rolling In The Deep pockets to buy this stunning country manor that pop star Adele once lived in.

The award-winning singer rented Lock House in Partridge Green, West Sussex, which is now on the market with estate agents Strutt & Parker for £7.25million, in 2011 and 2012.

‘It will appeal to someone who wants complete privacy.

‘The current owner rented it out to Adele and I don’t think much has changed internally since she was there.

‘There’s every chance it could be bought by a celebrity. We do have a number of them out there looking for property right now.

‘It is built for someone special, especially as it has a helicopter hangar. It’s a top of the range property, that doesn’t come up very much.’
