The village of Marford is a very quaint area with just two pubs and one Co-Op shop. Locals enjoy the peace and quiet that the small village has to offer. The average house price in the area is a pricey £479,000 and is known for being a safe haven with a staggeringly low crime rate.

Explaining the move to the four-bed pad, a source told The Sun: “Ryan is moving to Marford and it’s all the locals can talk about. His house is on the poshest road.

“The most famous person from Marford is Tim Vincent from Blue Peter, so a Hollywood star is a step up! It might not be the Big Apple but the red carpet will be rolled out when Ryan comes to town.”
