THE FAMILY home of Superman hunk Henry Cavill is flying on to the market for the princely sum of £3.8 million.

The stunning seven-bedroom L'Ecluse mansion is perched above Vallee des Vaux on Jersey where Henry, 33, grew-up before taking on the role as our beloved, caped superhero.

The star of Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice moved out of L'Ecluse, which means ‘The Lock’ in French, to start his education at the respected Stowe School in Buckinghamshire.

Now the imposing property, which is thought to have been built in 1870, is listed on the market with luxury estate agents Fine & Country.

The beautiful mansion has a rich history stretching much further back than Clark Kent’s school days.

During the Second World War it was occupied by the Germans and used as an officer's mess and ammunition store.

Located in approximately three acres, the home was dramatically renovated in 2006, when “the fortress of solitude” was subject to a complete redesign.

The high-specification property is set over six-floors and comes complete with a spacious open plan living room and an eye-catching wood-burning stove to create the ideal cosy atmosphere.

Interested parties are advised to move at the speed of light if they want to snap it up before it goes.
