Will.i.am house-hunting in Britain

Rapper Will.i.am is reportedly searching for a property in Britain while serving as a mentor on the singing based reality show 'The Voice'.

According to a source, the 39-year-old has seen a four million pounds mansion with eight bedrooms and five living rooms in Essex, reports mirror.co.uk.

"Will has been looking for somewhere to live in the UK and he is really impressed with Essex. He loves the thought of having a sprawling Essex manor and throwing loads of parties. He wants to set up his own recording studio as well," the source said.

"After seeing the house he is thinking about putting in an offer. The place would need quite a revamp but Will is up for that. He loves England and wants to make it his home," the source added.
