Roman Abramovich, Chelsea football club owner and Russian oil tycoon has numerous houses, and this West Sussex pile is one of the biggest – with a massive 300 acre plot, Fyning Hill has a number of buildings, including a large 1920s mansion, a second house, six cottages, and a whole flat for the staff as well as four guest rooms.

The estate is also full of leisure activities too that you’d usually have to leave the house for, including a humongous 50ft outdoor swimming pool, a clay pigeon shooting range, a rifle range, an equestrian centre, a tennis court, a trout lake, a go-kart track, formal gardens and three polo grounds. It’s also really pretty too – imagine waking up to 300 acres of countryside every morning!

German supermodel Claudia Schiffer has chosen Stanningfield, Suffolk as the location of her country getaway – and boy, what a getaway it is! A huge country pile which is actually a proper bona fide country hall, named Coldham Hall, Schiffer lives here with husband Matthew Vaughn. Fun fact: Claudia called an exorcist in 2003 to rid the house of a ghost!

Taylor-SwiftTaylor Swift

Popstar and country music sweetheart Taylor Swift sure knows how to invest her money – in real estate. She’s reported to have bought a home for herself in Nashville, Tennessee as well as a home in Los Angeles for herself because she spends at least half of her time over on the west coast.

Her country pad in Tennessee is a real stunner, with lovely views on all sides, a massive kitchen diner, floor to ceiling windows, and some stunningly beautiful bedrooms. Our favourite part of her house is definitely the huge outdoor swimming pool – oh, to have warm weather all year round!

Celebs all seem to adore having bags and bags of space, don’t they? Oprah is no exception – this is her Santa Barbara country getaway and the estate covers more than 42 acres, with the house covering a massive 23,000 feet.

There are six bedrooms and a rather massive 14 bathrooms, as well as a lake, ten fireplaces and a home cinema. Just look at the gardens! What a place to wake up in!

Are you looking for absolute seclusion? George Clooney’s lake-side Italian villa on Lake Como is about as secluded as you can get – it’s on a lake!

The villa is thought to have an outdoor theatre, a garage and a massive swimming pool, and George can count Donatella Versace as one of his neighbours. Fun fact: George shot some scenes from Oceans 12 in the villa.
