Rupert Murdoch, 89, and Jerry Hall, 63, buy £ 30m home in the Cotswolds they plan to renovate with a beautiful new domed roof
While most people are struggling to find the money to renovate the home of their dreams, it’s a whole different story for the super-rich.
I am told that Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch bought a tailplane in the Cotswolds – a large project that will cost £ 30 million. Great Tew’s vast carpet has been uninhabitable for many years, and the careful renovation will include installing a beautiful new domed roof.
Of course, Jerry and Rupert will not be able to stay in the house while the builders are working, so they will have to cope with it at Holmwood House, their 11.25 million pound house near Henley, which I revealed that ‘they bought in November. The two properties are 40 miles apart, so just a quick jump in a helicopter then.

Some parts of the domain are already at a good level, like this large room
The new main accommodation is a 200-year-old mansion with ruined plasterwork, damaged masonry and a dilapidated roof. The renovation is expected to take years, which means the Henley bolt hole makes more sense. A source said to me, “This is a huge project to undertake, but no expense is spared to restore the glory of the house.
“The total expenditure will reach £ 30 million. It will be spectacular. “
The pad is just a ten-minute drive from Chipping Norton, where residents include Rebekah Brooks, CEO of Rupert’s News UK. And A-list’s favorite Soho farm is a stone’s throw away.

Jerry ended his marriage to Sir Mick Jagger after having fathered a child with Brazilian model Luciana Gimenez in 1999. The Texan beauty queen stayed at the couple’s mansion in Richmond, south-west London, and didn’t left only after marrying media mogul Murdoch in 2016. A clause in his divorce settlement with Jagger said she would have to leave the property if she remarries.
Too bad the new house is not ready for the wedding of Jerry and Mick’s youngest son, Gabriel. I am told that he has set a date in July to marry his Swiss girlfriend Anouk Winzenried and that the couple will organize the ceremony in England.
