Ellie sells her lockdown pad

MEANWHILE, pop star Ellie Goulding has sold the idyllic Warwickshire manor house that provided a perfect pandemic bolthole for her and art dealer husband Caspar Jopling. The couple spent a six-figure sum renovating the Grade II listed house, which dates back to 1245 and was mentioned in the Domesday Book. Ellie, left, bought the property for £1.3million, and was asking for offers around £1.75million. The singer, 35, is having something of a property clear-out – her London mews house is on the market for £5.6million.

THE buyers of Ghislaine Maxwell’s Belgravia mews house last summer are already selling up – after making a rapid £850,000 profit. The three-storey property where Prince Andrew was photographed with his arm around the waist of Virginia Roberts has been snapped up weeks after going on sale for £2.6 million. The sellers, a couple from Hampshire, bought it for £1.75million last August but are said to be fed up with all the attention the house gets – it is among the new landmarks on several London walking tours.
