Overview
- Multiple UK outlets, citing unnamed local sources, report the couple abandoned the planned move after learning the land is prone to flooding following weeks of heavy rain.
- The targeted property is described as a roughly £7.5 million, 58‑acre plot with planning permission for a seven‑bedroom house on the Oxfordshire edge of the Cotswolds.
- The area is locally nicknamed “the paddy field” due to frequent waterlogging, with regional flood alerts still in place this week.
- Reports say the plot remains unsold and is now being developed by another couple.
- Representatives for the pair have not publicly confirmed the reports, though earlier coverage said they viewed the site by helicopter during London tour dates.
