Liam Payne is renting his lavish five bedroom, eight bathroom mansion in Los Angeles for a staggering £46,000 ($60,000) a month. 

The One Direction star, 24, was originally hoping to sell the sprawling pad, listing the property for £9.8 million ($13.9million) in February, but appears to have had a change of heart.    

Liam - who previously claimed that he thinks the home is haunted - purchased the 4.69-acre secluded Californian compound property in late 2015 for $10 million, and lived there with ex-girlfriend Cheryl when she was pregnant with their son, Bear.

The 9,659 square-foot property, located in the luxurious Calabasas region, comes with its own spa, vineyard and even a meditation centre - and is where the couple spent much of Cheryl's pregnancy back in 2016.

Liam purchased the pad back in 2015 for £8million, but put it on the market in February as the first rumours began to start that his relationship with former X-Factor judge Cheryl was 'strained'.

The huge property boasts a number of unique features including a meditation teahouse in the five acre grounds, a private vineyard and even a Koi Pond.

As well as the main house, Liam's property also includes two sizable guest houses and a guard house for security staff, which along with state of the art security systems make the pad the perfect abode for any privacy-loving star.

The property, a short drive away from Malibu's sandy beaches, features beautiful oak and sycamore tree-laden grounds as well as a resort style pool and spa.

An 'outdoor living room' with a kitchen and BBQ area makes for the perfect spot of unwinding after a quick dip, while a home cinema and games room, complete with pool table, table football and arcade machine, provide entertainment on colder nights. 

The house nestles in the hills of Calabasas - famously home to the a number of celebrities including Drake, Miley Cyrus and the Kardashian family, who happen to be good friends with Cheryl.

Food for thought: The pad also boats a huge library, complete with fireplace and balcony terrace, where the pair no doubt found inspiration for their music

Liam purchased his LA pad in 2015 for a hefty £8 million, and listed it for rent in April 2017 - making around £32,000 a month for the five bedroom, eight bathroom mansion.

However back in October 2017, the former One Direction star claimed the pad was haunted, and revealed Cheryl refused to sleep beside him in the bedroom. 

Speaking to The Sun, he explained a random woman had approached his mother on the street to inform him the ghost of the previous owner resides in the property.

He said: 'Cheryl wouldn't stay in the top room, being pregnant with the baby. I've seen lights go on and off in the middle of the night and a few little creepy things, like taps turning on and off.

'If you don’t believe in it, I don’t think it can get to you. But Cheryl was like, 'I'm not sleeping upstairs'. So we slept downstairs in the cinema room. First World problems.'

Den: One basement room is perfect for entertaining as it hosts a pool table and also features a large TV and a darts board

Cooking up a storm: The copper kitchen just off the living room allows plenty of space for cooking family meals, and even comes with a fish tank

Haunted? Authentic: There is also a cinema room with popcorn machine and sprawling screen, where Cheryl and Liam even slept for a number of weeks after hearing the house was haunted

Grandiose: The lavish entryway is lined with a statement carpet and marble pillars along the entrance way 

Liam first put the property up for sale as rumours began to surface his relationship with Cheryl was 'strained', now following their announcement that they have split, it seems he has focused his attentions back on shifting the property. 

 Cheryl and Liam, 24, announced their split on July 1 following a two-and-a-half year relationship amid mounting speculation that all was not well, having not been seen together since the BRITs in London in February when they put on a show of unity.

Their statement read: 'We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through.'

Cheryl and Payne first met on The X Factor in 2008, when she was a judge and he auditioned as a solo contestant, then 14 years old, before he became part of One Direction. 

It's understood that Liam has already moved out of the lavish £5million mansion he shared with Cheryl and Bear in leafy Surrey.

Cheryl was handed a decree nisi ending her marriage to her second husband, Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini at the Central Family Court in London in October 2016 after tying the knot two years before. She divorced first husband Ashley Cole in 2010 following a four year marriage.
