 It's claimed Kanye, 38, and Kim, 35, are in the process of buying a plot in the English countryside, worth half a million pound, on which he plans to build a home fit for celebrity royalty.

Having spent some time in rural Britain last year - specifically, visiting Oxford University in spring and famously headlining Glastonbury Festival in Somerset in the summer - it's believed the Watch The Throne hit-maker was able to check a few potential areas.

 

The Lord and Lady of the manor: Kanye, 38, and Kim, 35, are said yo be in the process of buying their perfect plot in rural in England, on which he plans to build a home fit for celebrity royalty.

As well as a countryside retreat, Kanye is apparently keen to have him and Kim and their two children - two-year-old daughter North and newborn baby boy Saint - captured in a Medieval-style portrait.

'The portrait is all part of his upper-class image. It will probably hang in their home in LA to begin with until the English country home is ready.'

The rumour comes shortly after it was claimed Kimye are flogging their Bel Air family home which they had renovated to suit their needs.

The 9,000 square foot property was completed in November and boasts five bedrooms and boasts a bathroom for each of Kim's sisters as well as her mother.

Real estate sources informed TMZ that Kim and Kanye will have no trouble flogging the brand-new home and claimed it's likely to prompt a bidding war with all things considered.

The parents of North West bought the Bel Air digs in 2013 for a cool $9 million and are believed to have spent $2 million on renovations which are said to have included installing a basketball court and a bowling alley.
