Cate Blanchett spluges on £3 million English manor

And you won't believe who her fancy neighbours are...

Oscar winner Cate Blanchett and her family have reportedly bought a large £3 million estate home in the English countryside.

The Hollywood actress has made plans to relocate to Los Angeles this year with her playwright husband, Andrew Upton and their four children, but as the rich and famous do, the couple has also purchased Highwell House, an extensive red brick Victorian mansion in Crowborough, East Sussex, reports the Daily Mail.

Set on 13 acres the recently restored property features seven bedrooms, five reception rooms, an imperious oak staircase and sprawling grounds of greenery, no doubt for children Dashiell John, Roman Robert, Ignatius Martin and daughter Edith Vivian Patricia to play and explore away from the prying eyes of the public.

Cate, 46, and Andrew sold their Hunters Hill trophy home last year for a reported $20 million in less than 3 weeks of the property being on the market.

Now should the Blue Jasmine star want to borrow a cup of sugar from the neighbours she may want to pop around to fellow actress and Oscar-winner Kate Winslet’s home which is located in the same small county suburb.
