George Clooney's home in the English Sonning is in danger due to flooding. The garden is already a few inches under water.
When the River Thames burst its bans, it sent water into the grounds of George Clooney's new manor, threatening to destroy the £10 million home while it is in the process of being renovated. Other homes in the area were also under threat as the river topped its banks and the Environment Agency issued a flood warning for the entire village.
Clooney, the 54-year-old actor, and his wife, Amal, live in a century-old mansion on the banks of the Thames. Following recent deluge of heavy rain, the water levels of the river have risen and have gushed into the A-lister's garden, reaching just yards away from his front door.
An Environment Agency spokesman announced that the levels on the river at reading have risen in due to recent rain. Showers have lead to flood water cascading into low lying areas.
The Thames-side mansion sits atop an island in the river. Renovations had mostly been completed to piece together a pool house, but the remaining workers had to pack up as a floodwater was deepening in the garden, according to a report from the Mirror.
The flood can be viewed through gaps in the fence around the perimeter of the property from a footpath running alongside the river. Also, the flooded area has covered a large area towards the edge of the front garden, but is yet to reach the house, as reported by the Express.
From the air, it can be viewed in comparison to the house's new swimming pool and is already significantly bigger swallowing the tiny pond. The Clooneys moved in just a few months back, and had now faced the true power of the neighbouring river.
Clooney made headlines recently after neighbours of his country mansion spoke of their rage over the noisy construction work taking place at the house as part of a project to install a cinema room and pool house.
