David & Victoria Beckham to build ‘bat hotel’ at their 6million pounds Cotswolds home

David and Victoria Beckham are building a “bat hotel” — so the nocturnal fliers can hang out at their country home.

A new Springwatch-style barn proposed for the couple’s £6million property is to feature a “wildlife corridor”.

The nature-loving pair promise it will provide “new roosting and nesting opportunities for bats and birds”.

Ex-England skipper David, 46, and fashion designer Victoria, 47, have spent the past few years doing up the Cotswolds retreat, despite some local opposition.

They have dug a pond and added a series of small hills for privacy.

The house has a gym, yoga space and a wine cellar with space for 7,000 bottles.

There is also a sauna, outdoor swimming pool and a football pitch.

But the Beckhams had to submit a detailed ecological report when applying for permission to build a new barn.

It states that “any new lighting to be introduced should be designed to minimise light spillage and pollution and not directed on to any bird/bat boxes installed”.

Workers will be advised about local wildlife. Installation will also take place outside the bird nesting season, so cannot start until the end of August.

The Beckhams declined to comment.
