Britney 'wants a quieter home life'

1 July 2008 10:18am

Britney Spears is house-hunting - preferably for something greener, quieter and with a bigger backyard, according to court documents.

The papers show that the US pop star is seeking a house with a larger backyard that is closer to parks and recreation areas for her two children, sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.

The singer also wants a "less trafficked" locale than her paparazzi-stalked Beverly Hills home, which she bought for nearly seven million dollars (£3.5m) early last year.

Her father, James, requested the sale in mid-June, and a court commissioner agreed. James Spears is acting as his daughter's conservator following several incidents of erratic behaviour by the 26-year-old singer.

The children's father, Kevin Federline, has custody.

Britney - who is known for chart hits like Baby One More Time and Gimme More - and Federline tied the knot in 2004 and were divorced in 2007.
