Description

Set in just under 43 acres of breath-taking parkland designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, Denham Place is a beautifully refurbished, fully furnished, and modernized Grade I Listed mansion with spectacular interiors fit for royalty. Located in Denham village where London meets Buckinghamshire, this historic estate has been graced by notable former residents including the Bonaparte Imperial family, American banker JP Morgan, and James Bond film franchise co-producer Harry Saltzman.

Following an extensive eight-year restoration project of world-class quality, the estate now presents an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of history within 30 minutes of Central London. Built between 1688-1701, this exceptional residence has been fully restored to its former glory, offering grandeur and provenance unmatched in proximity to the city.

The grand 28,525 sq. ft. manor house, built in classic William and Mary architectural style, boasts state room-style principal entertaining spaces and a Grade II Listed coach house alongside estate cottages and substantial garaging for vehicles. The restoration was led by acclaimed designer Alexander Kravetz in collaboration with English Heritage and The Georgian Group to ensure historical accuracy.
