Revealed: How the Clooneys are planning a few home improvements in their new £10m mansion, including a swimming pool, new terrace - and, of course, a home cinema

For the world's most famous couple even an immaculate nine-bedroom £10million mansion on the Thames was never going to be enough as their first marital home.

George Clooney and his British wife Amal Alamuddin bought this stunning Grade II-listed manor house in Berkshire after their four-day wedding last year but have submitted expensive plans to revamp it and the grounds.

Despite having its own library, gym, spa, steam room, wine cellar, and perfectly manicured grounds, the property appears not to have all the creature comforts they wanted.

The couple want to build a new swimming pool and pool house, a grand terrace and obviously a large private cinema that actor and director Clooney, 53, would come to expect from his main British residence.
