They are thought to have grand designs for Bucklebury Farm Park, which is just a stones throw away from the Middleton family home in Chapel Row – where Pippa grew up with big sister Kate, 38, and younger brother James, 33.
Pippa’s parents, Carole, 65, and Michael, 71, still live close by in a £5million home, a price tag that is much more indicative of what a discerning buyer might expect to pay for a country home.
The news comes just a day after Pippa made a rare public appearance supporting a deaf school in Newbury, Berkshire, just a few miles from where the family are based.
