Liz Hurley to Build Her Dream £3m Country Palace from Scratch

Elizabeth Hurley, the renowned actress, and entrepreneur, is taking on a new challenge. She has purchased 40 acres of land in Gloucestershire, where she plans to build her dream country house from scratch. The project is no small feat, with a budget of up to £3 million and planning consent already granted.

The 58-year-old actress, known for her roles in The Royals and Austin Powers, is no stranger to grandeur. She currently resides in a £6 million Georgian house in Herefordshire, which she bought in 2012 with her then-fiancé, Shane Warne. However, with her son Damian now 21, Elizabeth is looking to downsize and start anew.

‘Elizabeth’s bought 40 acres in Gloucestershire,’ a source tells Richard Eden, adding it cost more than £2m

Elizabeth’s new home will be a significant departure from her current residence, but it will still be fit for a queen. The actress has always been known for her impeccable taste, and her new home is sure to be a reflection of that. With its own lake, 13 bedrooms, and five bathrooms, the house will be a true country palace.

Elizabeth’s move to Gloucestershire will also reconnect her with old friends, including Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst at Sudeley Castle. The actress will be just down the road from her new home, making it easy to stay in touch. She’ll also have the opportunity to make new friends, including Julian Dunkerton, who lives in nearby Dowdeswell Court with his wife, designer Jade Holland Cooper.

Some might express surprise that the 58-year-old could ever drag herself away from the sumptuous £6million Georgian house in Herefordshire which she bought in 2012

As Elizabeth settles into her new home, she’ll have plenty of opportunities to host friends and family, including her godsons, Hugh Grant and Sir Elton John. And with her famous jam-making skills, she’ll no doubt be inviting them all over for a taste of her latest creations.

With her new home, Elizabeth Hurley is embarking on a new chapter in her life, one that promises to be just as exciting and glamorous as her previous ones.
