Squatters have invaded the £7.5m mansion once sought after by Hollywood movie star Johnny Depp and footballer John Terry.Police were called the luxury home which comes with two swimming pools, 34-seat cinema and nuclear bunker, after intruders were discovered.
But officers left without making arrests after the group of seven squatters put up a legal notice stating their rights to stay at the ten-bedroom residence called Golden Hill, in Romsey, Hampshire, which is still being built.
Squatter Ian Randall, 38, who moved into the house with common law wife Jade, 24, said: ‘I used no force to enter.
‘Me, my wife and another person were offered £500 pounds between us to leave quietly. The place was unsecured and unlocked and there is no damage to the property.
‘It is a smashing house. We just camped out in the room, played cards in our sleeping bags and had a few sandwiches.
Take notice: The squatters have refused the leave the property - despite claiming to have been offered £500 to get out

‘We stayed there because our friends were squatting and they phoned us offering a place because we are homeless.
‘The police came but left in the morning. They said there was nothing they could do because it was a civil matter.’ Read More
