Kanye West plans to build a full-size replica of the mansion from 'Downton Abbey' for himself and his fiance Kim Kardashian.

The 36-year-old rapper, who is a huge fan of the British period drama, wants to invest in creating his own version of the show's title home in Los Angeles, Contactmusic reported.

According to the Daily Star, sources revealed that the rapper and the 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star want to live in exactly the same kind of place as they are fascinated by European history, the aristocracy and the British royals.

West wants to build a "statement home" to eventually pass down to his 5-month old daughter North West, and has already invested money into researching the idea.
