Historic Mansion in Berkshire Offers Luxurious Living for £3.5 Million

For those seeking a spacious and luxurious escape from the hustle and bustle of London, a stunning mansion in Hurley, Berkshire, may be the perfect fit. Listed at a cool £3.5 million, this impressive 7,300 square foot property offers seven bedrooms, six reception rooms, and seven bathrooms, all nestled within a 1.68-acre plot of manicured gardens. While the price tag might seem steep, it’s worth noting that a similar home in London would likely cost significantly more. The manor itself is a testament to the rich history of Hurley, with ornate fireplaces, chandeliers, and a balcony that evokes a sense of grandeur. Its past is even more intriguing, as it served as a base for the US Secret Service during World War II. The manor served as the wartime headquarters of the Office of Strategic Services, housing 150 American intelligence officers. It was even utilized in planning the Allied invasion of France on D-Day. Spread across two floors, the home boasts gorgeous high ceilings and large windows, allowing natural light to flood every corner. The expansive gardens provide ample space for enjoying the summer sun, while the gated estate ensures privacy and exclusivity, with only 10 homes within its boundaries. The property’s modern extension, designed by award-winning architect Hamish Heford, adds a contemporary touch to the traditional manor. The gated driveway can accommodate up to five vehicles. The village of Hurley itself offers a charming escape from the city, with local restaurants, pubs, and hotels just a short distance away. Known as ‘Gorgeous-On-Thames’, this quaint riverside medieval village oozes British charm and resembles something straight out of a chocolate box. For those commuting to London, a direct train from Maidenhead (a 12-minute drive away) offers a convenient and affordable option, reaching the city center in approximately 25 minutes. If you’ve always dreamt of living like a character from the Bridgerton series, the impressive pillared entrance and double-fronted doors will surely impress. An open house is scheduled for Sunday, July 28th, giving potential buyers a chance to experience this remarkable property firsthand.
