Trent Park

For nine centuries, Trent Park has been a place apart. Royal hunting grounds to Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The glittering weekend retreat of Sir Philip Sassoon, where Winston Churchill painted beneath the wisteria and kings, prime ministers and Charlie Chaplin gathered on the lawns. In wartime, Britain's most secret house. Today, this 413-acre estate has been brought back to life with a rare collection of homes within.

THE MANSION HOUSE — LIVE INSIDE THE HISTORY

Fourteen residences. That is all that will ever exist within The Mansion House, and only eight remain.

To live here is to hold the keys to the house itself: the rooms where Queen Mary took tea, restored down to their cornicing and fireplaces, reborn as 1, 2 and 3 bedroom residences and duplex penthouses. Herringbone oak underfoot. Brushed gold at every touchpoint. Freestanding stone baths. Windows framing the lake to the north, the million-bulb Daffodil Lawn and orangery pool to the south. No house, no other apartment on the estate, can ever say it stands inside the mansion. Residents alone hold access to the private Reading Room; the Trent Park House of Secrets museum and its café open at the foot of your staircase, making your home a cultural landmark - From £760,000. Penthouses from £1,100,000 to £1,950,000

THE WALLED GARDEN & THE CHAPLIN COLLECTION — THE ESTATE AS YOUR BACK GARDEN

Some children grow up with a garden. Yours can grow up with an estate.

4 and 5 bedroom houses up to 2,403 sq ft, with private gardens up to 1,582 sq ft, garages and driveways stand where the estate's historic walled gardens once flourished. Step out of your gate and the 400-acre Country Park begins: lakes for Sunday walks, woodland for den-building, the Daffodil Lawn erupting every spring. Tennis before school, the heated pool all summer, the orangery gym, a residents' shuttle to Oakwood station for the commute all secured by 24-hour estate security - From £1,375,000

THE ROYAL MEWS — THE BUCKINGHAM, THE LAST OF ITS LINE

Seven houses were built in The Royal Mews. Six are sold or reserved. The Buckingham is the last and it is the finest way to arrive at Trent Park.

2,476 sq ft over a classic mews composition, with the rarest luxury of all in London: land on both sides of your life, a 1,697 sq ft main garden and a 611 sq ft courtyard. It is offered fully furnished, dressed to the final detail, with an allocated parking space plus a right to park.

The Buckingham is absolute simplicity: it is freehold you own the ground it stands on outright, no lease, no ground rent, ever. It is complete, furnished and ready for immediate occupation: transfer funds, take the keys, sleep here the same week. For the international buyer, there is no faster or cleaner route into a London estate home of this calibre.

The Buckingham - £2,495,000,

Residents join The Lawn Club: an outdoor heated pool beside the restored orangery gymnasium, four tennis courts in the woodland, and for Mansion House residents a private Reading Room. A residents' shuttle runs to Oakwood station, and the Piccadilly line delivers King's Cross in 26 minutes.
