The 35-year-old wants to return to Los
Angeles with his American actress
girlfriend Ayda Field, 30, in time for
Christmas.
Williams paid nearly £8.5 million for
18th century Compton Bassett House
in February. The home comes
complete with a helicopter hangar,
temples and fountains. The estate
uses so much electricity that it has its
own substation.
He intended to use the home while promoting his new single and album, Reality Killed the Video Star. But he has now
reportedly asked his estate agent to slash the price in order to make a quick sale.
A source told The Sun: "Robbie is desperate to get things moving quickly rather than hang around just to get a bit
more money. Being settled back in the States quickly with Ayda is more important to him.
"He's already got a few people interested in the mansion."
Williams has previously admitted that the seven-bedroom house near Calne, Wilts, was an "impulse buy" when he
returned to Britain after five years in America.
He said that he and Ayda dreamed of bringing up kids there but then they decided to move back to LA after becoming
fed up with the wet weather.
Williams originally planned to keep the mansion for a few more years while continuing to promote his new album. But
he has admitted that he struggling to afford it.
The singer, who has sold 55 million albums worldwide, said: "I can't really afford to keep it. Maintenance is a lot. I've
done a few impulse buys and it leaves you no money."
Earlier this month Williams played a comeback gig at the Electric Proms. He revealed that he and Gary Barlow had
settled their differences, and even hinted at a Take That reunion.
