A glorious mansion and sprawling 17th century estate has just gone on the market for £6million. It was used a location for family films yet also once the home of a brutal judge – and it could be yours
A magnificent 17th-century estate used to film multiple blockbuster movies and TV shows has hit the market – for a cool £6million.
The incredible 337-year-old property set the scene for films Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Maleficent and TV show Midsomer Murders. Bulstrode Park in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, was once the home of Judge Jeffreys – otherwise known as the âHanging Judge’ – who served as the Lord Chancellor under King James II, the last Catholic monarch of Britain.
Dating back to 1686, Bulstrode Park is only a 40-minute drive from central London. It is spread across 12 buildings including a Grade II listed Pigeon Tower and has nearly 40 acres of land. A beautiful and sprawling estate, it is complete with high-ceiling buildings with grand white arches and exquisite red-brick structures enclosed by a vast lawn on all sides.
Grand staircases and handsome pillars cap off what is a truly stunning property. It has an “incredible history” with a “picturesque location”, said Amy Selfe, Senior Surveyor at Landwood Group, which has been appointed as joint agents on behalf of liquidator Bridgestones.
