They must have taken out a mortgage at Barklays.

How else could a pair of Great Danes get their paws on this $250,000 kennel?

The bespoke doghouse is being built on an exclusive estate near Cirencester in Gloucestershire.

Inside, the dogs will sleep on sheepskin-lined, temperature-controlled beds, soothe their aches in an 18in-deep spa, howl along to a $150,000 sound system and watch dog-friendly programmes on a 52-inch plasma TV.

Automatic dispensers will ensure that chilled, filtered water and deluxe dry food are always available.

The two dogs will each have a bedroom with large windows which overlook their own private playground. 'Dog-vision' webcams allow their owner to monitor their activity 24 hours a day, while climate control ensures they are kept warm.

There will be a sophisticated retina scanner installed at the
front door to stop any other dogs getting in - something the Great
Danes may view as a bit of a party pooper.

Plans for the kennel, and for an adjoining house for the dogs'
mistress, have been approved and building work is to begin at the Lower
Mill Estate in the spring.

The owner of the estate said the house and kennel were designed to the
specifications of a female surgeon who wishes to remain anonymous.

Jeremy Paxton said: 'Most houses are built with human specifics in mind
and animals fit in around that - but this is the other way round.

'It's a very interesting house with fabulous architecture and unusual requirements.

'There's even a spa bath with a saline treatment built in because it's good for their coats.'

The kennel will be about a quarter of the size of the $1.4million main three-bedroom 'Hedron House'.

It has been designed by leading architect Andy Ramus, and will be built
from materials such as zinc, glass and limestone at the estimated cost
of $250,000.

A spokesman for Lower Mill Estate said: 'This is the first animal request we've had.

'People can design their own homes and this is a bit eccentric but it's
really nice that someone appreciates their pets as much as this lady
does.

'She's designed their quarters with all their needs at the fore.'

The kennel and adjoining property will be among dozens of multimillion
pound homes at the Lower Mill Estate, a 550-acre privately owned nature
reserve and a site of special scientific interest.

Earlier this year, a revolutionary eco-home on the estate called Orchid House sold for a record $7.2million.

The house was designed to produce more energy than it uses, with an
underground heat pump, geothermal heating and its own solar and wind
power.
