- READ MORE: Clarkson's Farm star puts her £2.8m Cotswolds home up for sale
A stunning cottage and piece of land resembling Jeremy Clarkson 's famous farm has gone on the market - and could offer you the chance to live out your own version of the star's hit TV show.
Featuring a picturesque property, several barns and nearly 80 acres of land, the farm in Beech Hill, Reading, looks strikingly similar to Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm but comes with an eyewatering price tag.
While the presenter purchased his 312 acre estate in Chipping Norton for £4.25million in 2012, this property is on sale for a guide price of £5,670,000.
The house is Grade II listed and boasts four bedrooms overlooking the farmland, as well as three bathrooms and a stunning open plan kitchen.
The cottage dates back to at least the 17th Century and was extensively modernised in around 1720, according to its Rightmove listing.
It is surrounded by gorgeous lawned gardens, with patio areas and mature hedges and trees.
Adjacent to the garden is a paddock perfect for housing horses, or for throwing huge country parties.
After buying his own estate in 2012, Clarkson's plans for it were validated by the council in 2016 and he quickly went on to renovate the 312-acre site.
The former Top Gear presenter blew up Curdle Hill Farmhouse to make way for a spectacular six-bedroom mansion.
His property includes a basement cinema, attic games room, orangery, room for five cars, a special garage for his quad bikes, a yard for horses, six bedrooms and five bathrooms.
The barns and gardens were also given a glamorous makeover, complete with a vegetable patch, potting shed and plant room.
Clarkson even set up his own farmer's market, Diddly Squat Shop, which hit the headlines in 2020 for selling 'non-organic' potatoes and other fresh produce, promising to undercut even Aldi prices.
The farm shop became so popular that it was the source of a local fallout between residents and Clarkson after punters queued for five hours on a country road, sparking huge traffic jams.
The lack of adequate parking meant that visitors were often forced to park on adjacent fields and the side of the road, disturbing land and sparking heated disapproval from villagers.
Diddly Squat shop has not been without its controversy as many visitors have expressed alarm at the hour-long waiting times and the 'massively over-priced' store.
Despite the backlash, when the shop first opened it made £1,000 in a day only selling potatoes.
