Cheryl Cole is all set to move out of the home she shares with her ex-husband Ashley Cole, after the split up.

Cheryl, who is busy with the house hunting, has been looking at two luxury properties. She told her friends that her marital home holds too many painful memories.

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," says a source.

“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 will consider rented accommodation in the short term," adds the source.

The news of Cheryl"s house hunting will be a major blow to Ashley, as it reinforces 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.
