Adele rented the 10-bedroom mansion in West Sussex for six months in 2012, according to Sutton.

The “Easy on Me” singer reportedly told Anderson Cooper in a 2012 CBS interview that the mansion – known as the Lock House – was “all quite scary, really.”

TheNew York Daily Newspreviously reported that she also told Cooper she had hired a female bodyguard to stay at the property after hearing unexplained noises.

Adele is one of many celebrities, includingJoan RiversandNicolas Cage, who have claimed to have hadparanormal experiences in their homes.

The property, nowlistedfor £5,995,000 (about $7,400,00), has several amenities, including seven en suite bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool and a guest cottage. Outside, it boasts an in-ground swimming pool, tennis court and gardens.

Because he has been unable to find a buyer, Sutton wants to convert the mansion into apartments, according to a planning application given to the Horsham district council, perThe Times.

He urged the local council to grant permission for his proposal given the “lack of demand for the property in its current form,” according toThe Times.

The Timesreported that the owner previously applied for permission to convert the mansion into five apartments but was not granted approval.

The current owner reportedly acquired the home in 2003.
