After splitting with cheating husband Ashley, Cheryl Cole is all set to move out of their shared home and is busy house hunting.

The singer has been looking at two luxury properties and has told friends that her marital home holds too many painful memories.

Speculations are rife that Cheryl will soon come to a decision on buying a new place - probably still in the Surrey area.

"Cheryl does not want the separation to be a long, drawn-out affair," the Mirror quoted a source as saying.

"She wants to find somewhere quickly so she can regain stability and become settled once more.

"If she can't find somewhere she likes she'll consider rented accommodation in the short term," added the source.

And the news of Cheryl's house hunting is likely to come as a major blow to Ashley - reinforcing how determined she is to move on.

"It's a real shame because Cheryl loved that place. But all her memories of it have been soured by what's gone on," added the source. (ANI)
