Jenson in £6m bid for Singer Robbie Williams mansion

I like the sound of the race track for buggies in the grounds, I could do with one of them so I shall have to start doing the lottery again.


FORMULA One champ Jenson Button is entering the superhome straight - with a £6million bid for Robbie Williams' mansion. The Sun last month revealed that Robbie is selling his country pile in Wiltshire - less than a year after buying it.

The singer paid nearly £8.5million for 18th-century Compton Bassett House, but is ready to accept a £1million loss on the sale. An insider revealed yesterday that Jenson, 29, has now joined the race for the property with his starting bid.

The source said: "Jenson was thinking about renting but now wants to buy. It would be perfect for him."

The seven-bedroom property stands in 71 acres and boasts a helicopter hangar, temples and fountains. Robbie, 35, has also built his very own racing track in the garden for "rage buggies". Jenson this week struck a £7million-a-year deal to drive for McLaren.

His main home has been a luxury apartment in Monaco. He also has a flat in London and a villa in Bahrain. Robbie is hoping for a quick sale so he can go to Los Angeles for the winter with homesick American girlfriend Ayda Field, 30.
