Not much is more romantic than an English country home, and Hollywood “it” couple George and Amal Clooney invested in a mansion on a private island in Oxfordshire. The lovely estate is a great place to raise their twins, Ella and Alexander. The couple purchased the mansion a few years ago, and they gave it some high-tech upgrades.

Though quaint, the mansion packs a serious punch, with a private cinema, a new pool house, and a huge terrace that is fit for the Clooneys’ infamous parties. The land surrounding the house is green and lush, making the MGM star’s home look like something out of a fairytale.
