Madonna is rumoured to be putting her Wiltshire mansion on the market.

The singer reportedly wants to sell Ashcombe House for £12 million, £3 million more than she paid for it seven years ago.

According to The Sun, she decided to sell the eight-bedroom property because she and husband Guy Ritchie do not spend enough time there.

A source said: "She has been touring and promoting for months and not visited. Her longing to be an English countrywoman has also faded.

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

The couple are believed to own six properties in London, as well as a house in Beverly Hills and an apartment in New York.
