David and Victoria Beckham own glamorous homes all over the world, but their Cotswolds mansion has perhaps the most unusual feature. Taking to Instagram previously, football legend David, 51, revealed the hen house at his £12 million home in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, which is a rather impressive structure featuring a window and a ladder for easy access.
The hen house is also fenced off from the rest of the sprawling garden, which features raised vegetable beds and a large greenhouse, though, as David’s video shows, the star isn’t averse to having his chickens follow him around outdoors.
The set-up received quite the reaction online from David’s legion of fans. “Perfect garden…love the greenhouse and chook castle,” wrote one follower, while another added: “My dream greenhouse. What I could grow in that!”

Inside David and Victoria’s Cotswolds home
The Beckhams’ pile in the Cotswolds is the ultimate country retreat. The family purchased the home in 2016, and it features a swimming pool, as well as nine bedrooms, four bathrooms, a cinema, and a gym.

When interviewed by the Telegraph shortly after the Beckhams moved in, Rose kept her lips sealed about what the interior of the home looks like, but she did dispel a myth that circulated at the time.
In response to being asked if there were matching his and hers hair salons and four basement nail bars, Rose said: “There is nothing like that.”
