Ed’s Suffolk home, which is nicknamed ‘Sheeranville’ has made multiple headlines for its huge renovations. The estate cost a whopping £4million to create and it includes a lake, a treehouse, an underground music room, a chapel and even a pub.
The estate agent, Paul Gibbens of Housebuyers4u said: "The evaluation revealed that because the estate is so bespoke and unique to Ed’s taste, it could have a negative impact on the sale price, and the cost of reverting any of the features could be hefty."

Ed spent £2million converting his grade II listed barn into his very own pub. He was required to use bricks and tiles that were in-keeping with the original look of the barn but it emerged he did not obtain planning permission for the 16ft sign he decided to place on its exterior. Ed has since been granted retrospective permission to keep the sign up.
The singer also owns a London pub called Bertie Blossoms, located in Notting Hill.
It was a rocky road for Ed and his beloved chapel, as the planning permission was originally rejected. But according to Forbes it was granted by East Suffolk Council in 2019, thanks to a redesign of the structure.

The addition of a cinema set the star back £55,000 and the treehouse cost almost £50,000 to construct. There are also underground tunnels which connect various areas of the estate – a feature that is favoured by the Beckhams too.
