Robbie Williams has listed his sprawling 72-acre country estate for £6.75 million.
The Take That crooner, 47, used the home as a rural retreat for his wife Ayda Field and their children, having purchased it in 2009 for £8.1 million.
The property is located close to the quaint village of Compton Bassett in Wiltshire about 85 miles from London.
Robbie said, via the listing agent Knight Frank: 'Compton Bassett House has been the perfect escape for our family. The gardens and trees have enchanted us with their magic, and on rainy days - of which there are many in England - we have played and splashed around the indoor pool, much to our delight.'
Robbie and Ayda, 42, share Theodora, eight, Charlton, six, two-year-old Colette and youngest son Beau, one.

The property boasts its own parkland and woods, as well as a football pitch, on which soccer-mad Robbie will have no doubt enjoyed honing his ball skills.
Also outside in the grounds is a helicopter hangar, a walled garden with a pavilion, a tennis court, and paddocks for horses.
The mansion itself is spread across 19,913 square feet, boasting seven bedrooms, and eight bathrooms.
There are five reception rooms and an indoor pool, a gym, a steam room, and a billiards room.
The gourmet chef's kitchen is an impressive feature of the home with a stunning blue wooden island and a sprawling dining space for large gatherings.
Robbie and American actress Ayda's quirky tastes are evident throughout - with giant dog sculptures lined around the hardwood floored cooking space.
The property features modern classical architecture and several stone fireplaces.
There is also a detached cottage which joins two staff flats to provide extra accommodation for staff or guests.
The home features a long stony driveway, rolling up to the impressive 1929 home - previously owned by the famous architect Sir Norman Foster.
Other features include stone mullioned windows, a study and a hidden staircase to the floor above.
'Although our clients are sad to be leaving, they’re certain that the next owners will love it as much as they have,' the listing agent said. 'The house has the benefit of being on the edge of the village but also has beautiful gardens, and grounds surrounding it providing complete privacy and protection.'
Having shot to fame as one fifth of 90s boyband Take That, Robbie has become the only one of the band to carve out a particularly successful solo career.
Despite his wild child younger years, he has recently established himself firmly as a family man, marrying Los Angeles native Ayda in 2010.
Robbie quit Take That in 1995 but returned to the band between 2006-2011, on and off.
He still occasionally performs with them; the group continue on as a three-piece, with Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen. Fifth member Jason Orange quit in 2014.
Robbie's solo career has seen him collaborate with the likes of Nicole Kidman and Kylie Minogue on tracks, and he has released 12 studio albums to date.
He is said to be worth £195 million, as reported by The Sunday Times in May 2021.
