British actress Elizabeth Hurley is reportedly planning an idyllic English country wedding for her pending nuptials with businessman Arun Nayar.

The pair, who have been dating for nearly four years, are considering hiring luxury 17th century rural retreat Barnsley House in the heart of the countryside - just five minutes from the beauty's $4.6 million (£2.5million) farm.

A close pal tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Liz and Arun love Barnsley House, as they have stayed there before and they regularly eat in its restaurant. They have been in several times recently and it's high on their list of possible venues.

""Liz loves living in the country and it would be the icing on the cake to marry so close to home. It's a wonderful discreet hotel that is well used to celebrity clientele and perfect for intimate weddings."

The couple are also expected to be planning a lavish ceremony in India where Arun was born.

Fascinating Fact: Elizabeth Hurley and The Office stars Ricky Gervais and Martin Freeman are auctioning off personal possessions in the name of charity on British DJ Johnny Vaughan's Capital Radio show yesterday. Proceeds go towards the Help A London Child appeal.
