And that's not all; the lust list continues with a squash court, a skateboard half-pipe, a rock-climbing wall, a cinema, a basketball court, a virtual golf course, and a recording studio.

According to the Daily Mail, the 11-acre property was built by developer Joe Farrell, and is currently on the market for £35 million.

The star couple have a love for luxury holidays, enjoying a getaway on a plush yacht in Hvar, Croatia, last year.

Beyoncé shared a video clip on hr blog this spring where she can be seen pointing out an unusual blue tree, saying: "I think it's Blue Ivy, which would be quite appropriate!"

Tourism to Hvar reportedly increased after the video was posted in April, and the town's major Pjerino Bebic responded by making Blue Ivy an honorary citizen.

In a letter to the family he wrote: "The story of the origin of the name of your daughter has brought enormous media attention and therefore tourist promotion to the town and island of Hvar.

"Because of this, I have decided to confer on your daughter the status of honorary citizen of the town of Hvar."
