Paul McCartney is allowing the grass on his 160-acre estate in Peasmarsh, near Rye, to turn yellow, in line with a local hosepipe ban. The move is presented as an effort to respect water restrictions while maintaining the property through the dry conditions.
The reports note that McCartney, 84, has owned the estate since 1973. While one outlet emphasizes the visual change to the landscaping—grass browning as a result of reduced watering—no additional details are provided in the available coverage about alternative irrigation methods, compliance monitoring, or the specific authority enforcing the ban.
Overall, the information across the provided sources centers on the same basic facts: the size and location of the estate, McCartney’s ownership since 1973, and his decision to limit water use during the hosepipe ban.
