London, June 24 : Madonna is reportedly trying to recreate her Wiltshire manor in the middle of Manhattan to be a match with the house she once shared with former husband Guy Ritchie.

The Queen of Pop allegedly told architects she wanted the 20-million-pound pad to be a dead ringer for Ashcombe House.

"Madonna is obsessed with making it a match with Ashcombe," The Sun quoted a source as saying.

"She wants matching wallpaper, fabrics and furniture.

"She has meticulously documented her old home room, by room with photographs and she's sent a team of assistants to stores that stock authentic period pieces," the source added.
