It is believed he may have bought Burnham Westgate Hall, a 13-bedroom house which came on to the property market in June last year for 7m.

The property is not currently on the market, according to the website Rightmove, which read today: Savills, Country Department have removed this property. It may now be sold, under offer or temporarily withdrawn from the market.

The EDP tried to get in contact with the estate agent but no-one was available to comment.

Burnham Westgate Hall is described on the Rightmove website as a Grade II* Georgian country house in a parkland setting.

It was described by Country Life as the most significant country house sale to take place in Norfolk in 20 years when it came onto the market in June last year.

In September, the EDP reported that rumours were rife on Twitter that the Pirates of the Caribbea! n star w as buying the property, which is set in 38 acres of leafy grounds.

But at the time, Louis de Soissons, of Savills, said: Theres no substance to it at all, Im afraid. Its completely unfounded.

Mr de Soissons said the property had been viewed by a number of interested parties. But Mr Depp was not amongst them.

A Burnham Market resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said today: There has been a rumour about this for four or five months that Mr Depp has looked at Burnham Westgate Hall.

They said that the reclusive megastar had been spotted in Burnham Market over the past few months by villagers but did not know if he had bought a home in the area.

Mr Depp does not reportedly frequent social networking sites. When asked why in a rare interview, he said: What is Tweeting? Im glad not to be part of it. I just want to go and read a book.
