Cheryl Cole fighting Ashley for right to stay in country home

Girls Aloud member Cheryl Cole has decided not to give up her old home in the country and is fighting with her soon to be ex-husband Ashley for the right to stay in it.

Cheryl, 26, and Ashley, 29, had bought the Hurtmore House in Surrey for 3.5million pounds in 2008, after the footballer was first accused of cheating.

“Cheryl doesn’t want to live anywhere else. At first she didn’t think she wanted it and felt like a fresh start somewhere new,” the Daily Star quoted a source as saying.

“But she made the mansion her home and even though she’s been away a lot lately she sees it as her base when she’s in the UK,” the source added.
