Posh and Becks to buy Meg Ryan's $20million Bel Air mansion

Updated 11:53am on 14 Mar 2007


Victoria and David Beckham have put in an offer on a Bel Air mansion that once belonged to Meg Ryan, it was revealed today.

The celebrity pair have been searching for a house in Los Angeles since it was announced that David would be moving to US soccer team, LA Galaxy.

And it seems that Posh has set her heart on the seven-bedroom, six-bathroom house in the exclusive district of Bel Air.

Moving home?: The Beckhams are said to have put in an offer on this seven-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion formerly owned by movie star Meg Ryan

As well as multiple living quarters, the house boasts ocean views, a games room, private gym and sauna, swimming pool and massive back garden.

Bel Air estate agent Joel Cunningham, who reportedly showed the stick-thin star round the property, said: "Mrs Beckham was very impressed with the property overall, especially the ocean views which can be enjoyed from the bedroom.

"She also was impressed by the close proximity to the local amenities and schools. She was absolutely smitten with the architecture and garden, which is nearly 100 years old and has flowing vines and willow trees."

She loved the deck area in the garden too, as it offers a great space for a family to gather and eat breakfast or lunch during the warmer months of the year. And the garden has lots of space for the children to run around in."

And Mr Cunningham also said that the Beckhams, who had a scare when five men were caught plotting to kidnap Victoria in 2002, were very impressed with the extensive security Meg Ryan had installed in the property.

He added: "In addition to the large 8ft high security fence surrounding the property, there's also a front wall and gates that are even higher than the massive fence, at a massive 11ft."

According to 'Heat' magazine, the asking price for the mansion is $20million, and the Beckhams have made an offer just over this.

They are expected to hear whether or not their offer has been accepted before the end of the week.
