The couple used to own Beckingham Palace in Hertfordshire and are said to be looking at a new sprawling countryside home
David and Victoria Beckham have reportedly been eyeing up a £5.4 million countryside pile.
The famous pair, who have been spotted in Gloucestershire a number of times recently, have sparked rumours hey are thinking of buying a new 'Beckingham Palace' - their sprawling Hertfordshire home which was sold for 11.5million.
Amberley House has now emerged as the front runner - and is suitably grand for one of the world's highest-profile couples.
The manor house, which dates back to 1640, is set in 22 acres of stunning Cotswold countryside and has six bedrooms and six reception rooms.
The Beckhams are the talk of the area after they were photographed in nearby Nailsworth. They have also been spotted in Stroud on two occasions.
The couple proved they're every bit the lovely pair they seem, as they stopped for selfies with three young fans at a corner shop. That's the luckiest snack run they've ever made.
While Victoria stepped inside, smiling with the three youngsters, David waited in the car - later leaning out the window so they could have a photo with him as well.
Jane Bandy, landlady of the nearby Amberley Inn, said: "There have been a couple of people in who have said about it.
"The fact that they were seen in Nailsworth adds fuel to the fire. They haven't popped in for a pint just yet though."
Another villager added: "Everyone's talking about it - it's quite a place and they have been seen around this area."
The Grade II Listed house was at the centre of a planning dispute between plastic surgeon Mark Harrison, who was told by Stroud District Council and the Planning Inspectorate to put right several alterations earlier this year.
Imported panelling, limed doors, spotlights and dry lining had to be removed.
The manor home also boasts an infinity swimming pool and tennis court, a two-bedroom lodge and pool house, stables, manège and horse-walker.
Anthony Coaker, from Savills, which is marketing the property, could not comment on who might buy the property but admitted there has been plenty of interest from far and wide.
The Beckhams , who have children Brooklyn, Harper, Romeo and Cruz are currently renting in London while their £31.5 million West London home is renovated.
