Rapper Kanye West is reportedly so fascinated by European history and architecture that he wants to build a replica of the home shown in the UK show 'Downton Abbey'.

The 36-year-old 'Stronger' hitmaker and his fiance Kim Kardashian are reportedly an admirer of UK and want to build an aristocratic place in Los Angeles, reported Daily Star.

"Both Kanye and Kim love the UK. They think it is so quaint and beautiful. Kanye is fascinated by European history, the aristocracy and the British Royals," a source said.

"He loves watching Downton Abbey on television and it's exactly the kind of place he would like to live in. They discussed moving to the UK, but in the end they agreed on bringing a bit of Britain to Los Angeles," the source added.
 

The house would be a family place.

"He wants a statement home that will be passed down from generation to generation, in the way they used to be in the Britain of the Downton era," a source said.

"Of course there will be a movie theatre, bowling alley and basketball court. It's going to be the family's palace so no expense will be spared on the decor. They intend it to be the most spectacular house ever built," the source added.
