Ed Sheeran is planning to take a break from music.

The 24-year-old star is currently busy with his hugely successful world tour but has revealed that once his schedule is clear, he will move into his six-bedroom house in Suffolk, England and ''live for a bit''.

Looking forward to his return home, Ed said: ''The first thing I bought in my career was a house. And I haven't really lived in it. And I want to live for a bit.

''I'd like to just live in my home town for a little bit. Do stuff, watch films and I dunno ...''

The 'Thinking Out Loud' hitmaker's property reportedly cost him almost £1 million and features a wine cellar, stables and a games room.

Meanwhile, Ed recently revealed that he's written as many as ''50 songs'' for his third album, but doesn't want to release the collection until the end of 2016 at the earliest.

He said: ''I've done 40 - maybe more like 50 songs already, and I'm not planning to release it for another year and a half, so I want to do a few more.''

Ed also acknowledged that there's more interest surrounding the release of his next record.

He admitted: ''Because there's even more pressure now for this album. When you have a whole company depending on one thing, if I don't release the goods, it's going to be awkward.''
