has seemingly completed his stunning private chapel that features its in the grounds of his house in .

The star was said to be building the sacred space so thatcould worship away from the glare of the public eye.

Made out of flint with an impressive round tower, the chapel has finally been finished after an 18-month build.

He chose to erect the structure in the style of a small early Suffolk Round Tower Church and since its completion, it can now be seen peeking out over the trees and hedges on the east side of his estate.

Reported to be a non-denominational space, the site’s builders were said to be getting around to adding final touches on the hall that supposedly holds a congregation of 24 people.

The chapel itself was carefully modelled with curved walls to give it a sweeping boat feel and boasts a lobby and a nave with an altar downstairs.

Guests will also find a spiral staircase – which features an elaborate Autumn-leaf stained-glass window – to a small gallery and a main space for contemplation and activity to the east of the structure.

Ahead of the building’s completion, according toa planning report outlined: ‘The applicant has, as his guests and visiting colleagues, people from around the world.

‘Many of these people also have high profiles and an associated need for discretion, which would not be met by the local parish church — and the public’s ­attention may indeed cause d­isruption to the church.

‘Furthermore, they are from many countries, faiths and customs, including for example in the past year the US, Ghana, Nigeria, Asia, Australia.

‘Thus, the applicant seeks to provide both a religious and an ecumenical space in which he, and these different people, can retreat for contemplation or worship in peace and safety from disturbance.’

It was also said that the Bad Habits singer was also granted additional permission to build a burial chamber under the floor of the chapel, which would be accessed through a slab in the floor.
