Madonna puts country estate up for sale

Singer hopes to make £3m profit from sale of Ashcombe House

Madonna feels she doesn't spend enough time in the country

Madonna is said to be selling her luxurious 8-bedroom country mansion.

The Material Girl has put Ashcombe House estate in Wiltshire on the market for £12m – £3m more than she paid for it in 2001.

It’s thought that Madonna, 49, doesn’t think it’s worth keeping because she doesn’t spend enough time there.

‘She has been touring and promoting for months and not visited,’ a source tells The Sun.

‘The family had a routine of going to the Kabbalah centre on Saturday mornings in London, then traveling to Ashcombe and spend the weekend riding, shooting and jogging. But it hasn’t happened much lately.’
