McCartney neighbour Heather Mills

Heather Mills is set to buy a house in the same London street as estranged husband Sir Paul McCartney.

The former model - who is currently embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with the Beatles legend - was spotted viewing a £16 million mansion in St. John's Wood just yards away from the house she and Paul shared before their marriage broke down.

Heather - who has a three-year-old daughter, Beatrice, with Paul -returned for a second private viewing with Michael Sulkin, senior director at estate agent Aston Chase.

Heather's spokesman denied rumours she will be moving into the seven-bedroom home.

He said: "She is not looking to buy a property in the same road as Paul. Her visit to the house was on behalf of a third party, but it is a private matter and she is not prepared to discuss it."

In July, it was reported Heather was looking for a home just minutes away Paul's Peasmarsh estate in East Sussex, as she is keen for Beatrice to live close to her father.

Relations between Paul and Heather, who split in May 2006, have seemingly improved in recent months.

The pair are said to have decided put their difference aside for the sake of Beatrice, and have even been regularly meeting up and speaking on the phone.
