Locals are excited for their arrival but claim the property turns into a swampy mess after a few days rain and are curious why they would buy it...
From The Daily Mail
Pop royalty Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z are the latest global celebrities to plot a move to the increasingly fashionable Cotswolds - and are close to securing a £7million mansion.
But the golden hitmaking couple appear to be unaware that the plot they are eyeing is so prone to annual flooding that it is known locally as 'the paddy field'.
And what's more, The Daily Mail can reveal, the 58-acre plot isn't technically in the Cotswolds at all - but just outside an area that has increasingly global cachet.
Instead the property - which they are understood to have visited several times - is just outside the sought after area in west Oxfordshire, in a sleepy nearby hamlet called Wigginton.
The village's picturesque chocolate box streets looked glorious in the early autumn sunshine when the Daily Mail visited - and found that the talk of the village was about the imminent arrival of Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
One local told the Daily Mail: 'The word now is that it has all been signed, and the money has been deposited in the bank. That is what we have heard.
Another told us: 'At the village fete it's what everyone was talking about, we know they came and viewed the site by helicopter in the summer and since then negotiations have been ongoing, but it's apparently been sorted now.
'But I'm not sure if she fully knows what they have let themselves in for as it's in a dip and is prone to flooding – we call it the paddy field because the water rises up very quickly. It can be like a swamp when there are several days of rain.'
'We are looking forward to seeing them around the village, but I will be honest they might find it a little boring as there's not much to do apart from enjoy the glorious countryside.
'There is no pub, or shops but there are two churches and a community book swap shop in the old bus stop.
'To be honest, I've not heard of Beyoncé and Jay-Z until now, but my children have and they've played me some of her songs and they're quite catchy.'

Let them wonder..... It's not their money
Jelouse they could afford to purchase the land. Can we do anything without them commenting and asking why? Wait until the land is built up.
Funny same thing happened to their pal Ellen. soon as the whole coast clears they will be saying dueces to all that swamp life and tea at 12 bs
What's weird is Americans are leaving their homeland where we have No King only a Wannabe Dictator who we can Vote Out in 3 Years & moving to a place that Royal Family enforced slavery & they will be under the rule of a RL King.
Make it make Sense tho.
LOCK JZ UP!
They want to be white so bad
Any decent realtor would've told them this. More smokey mirrors.
Damn, they must be desperate. Why don't they go to Switzerland?
They $old This Nicca The Brooklyn Bridge. Though If Allowed, That Swampy Soil Can B Amended Like Central Park.
Y'all don't think they have enough money to fix anything that's wrong?
How u gonna fix floodplain land? It's basically worthless for living on. Swampy azz mess.
Exactly 7:51 PM. You can always tell who never lived anywhere besides an apartment. That swamp they bought sat untouched for a reason.
Southern Florida is swamp land but that doesn’t stop people from building or living there. Same for a few neighborhoods in other states. Gateway Mall/ Starrett City in Brooklyn is a swamp land for sure. Maybe they have a plan, or maybe they’ll see that same daily mail article and change plans. Who knows. One thing for sure, they want to go somewhere where people don’t recognize them.
Who could miss a camel walking with a white woman???
They told me it was going to be a swimming pool. LOLO
3:18 PM, Jelouse? I think your autocorrect is broken because your brain ain’t brain’N🥴
