Gwyneth Paltrow house hunting in Cornwall as she joins raft of A-List stars buying mega mansions on the coast

SHE is usually sunning it up in California, but Gwyneth Paltrow now wants to do the same on this side of the Atlantic.

I’ve learned the Oscar-winning actress is house-hunting in Cornwall.

But rather than shipping down to celebrity hotspot Mawgan Porth – which has been dubbed Hollywood-on-Sea thanks to its A-list residents – Gwyneth is said to be looking at buying a property in the quaint seaside village of Polzeath.

A local told me: “Gwyneth has been in the area recently and has been looking at a couple of potential places for a holiday home.

“She isn’t a stranger and has spent a bit of time in Cornwall over the years. But it seems the quiet and sedate pace of life in Polzeath has caught her eye.

“Gwyneth has become the talk of the village and there are apparently two places she has her eye on.

“Her ex-husband Chris Martin has a place that’s only 45 minutes away from here.

“Polzeath is a beautiful place and given how quiet it is, Gwyneth would be able to come and go without much fanfare.

“Some locals can get annoyed at the number of rich out of towners who come and buy up houses around our area but everyone seems pretty excited about the idea of having Gwyneth moving in.”

She would certainly be in good company if she did choose to splash out on a pad in Cornwall.

As well as her Coldplay frontman ex-husband, Jamie Dornan, Cate Blanchett and Stanley Tucci, all have places up the coast.

Earlier this year I told how Aquaman actor Jason Momoa had also been in the area eyeing potential houses to pick as a holiday home after he fell in love with the area while filming The Lost Kingdom.

Given half the chance, I would definitely join them.
