David and Victoria Beckham might have hoped their £10 million Cotswold bolthole would provide some tranquility, but not so.
It is under the flightpath for Enstone Aerodrome and frequently buzzed by small aircraft.
‘There is a constant sound of planes,’ one local says. ‘The pilots are told not to pass low over residential properties, but they have to come close to the Beckham place. I can imagine it annoys them.’
In one hour last Saturday alone, eight aircraft flew over the house.

David Beckham braves rain, sore throat and poultry in garden
Over the years, and more frequently in recent times, David has shared snippets of what he gets up to at his rural home with his family, following his retirement from football more than a decade ago.
In 2016, the family bought their converted barn in the Cotswolds, which has become a hub for the sports icon’s new projects.
David collected his first egg from his chickens in March, after travelling to check in on his flock.
He later took to Instagram on to share the moment he found his first egg after spending hours researching on how best to encourage his hens.
‘I’ve come to check if there’s any eggs because I haven’t actually been here to see and witness the first egg so I’m back now and let’s have a look,’ he told followers.
‘They were laying on top, I did a little research and changed a few things up so guess what? This is the first time that they’ve laid in there which is very exciting.’
In another video he shared to update fans on the new additions, the retired footballer was trailed by a small flock of hens and game-birds while showing off some of the neatly plotted land surrounding the homestead.
David and Victoria are thought to be in negotiations to splash out on the vast nine-bedroom property, in a bid to stay close to David’s team Inter Miami.
Built in 2018, the vast property comes with a range of stunning features, including a huge number of bedrooms, four half-bathrooms and a chef’s kitchen.
David and Victoria can also enjoy their own private cinema, a gym, a spa and a pool.
