Dating back to 1688, Denham Place has long been a residence for the elite, from aristocrats and noblemen to Hollywood producers and even Kings and Queens, and it’s easy to see why.
The mansion sits on a sweeping 42-acre estate in Buckinghamshire and has been transformed over the past eight years into a lavish country palace under the guidance of renowned interior designer Alex Kravetz, whose previous work includes The Dorchester in London and The Imperial in Vienna.
No detail was spared in the restoration, which was undertaken with assistance from English Heritage and The Georgian Society.
Inside, you’ll find opulent touches including decorative 22-carat gold leaf, Italian marble, hardwood flooring and handwoven silk wall panels produced at England’s oldest surviving textile mill.
Spanning nearly 40,000 square feet, the main home is designed with ambassadorial proportions and timeless grandeur, according to Homes Of The Rich.
The entertainment-focused lower ground floor includes a cinema, gym, wine cellar, bar, party room, informal dining areas, a catering kitchen, and a full-scale banqueting hall.
The formal state rooms are equally impressive with vaulted ceilings, a private chapel lounge, a billiards room, a breakfast room, and elegant formal dining spaces.
There’s also a library and a private study.
Of the 12 bedroom suites, the Misbourne Suite stands out with a palatial two-storey principal suite complete with a custom four-poster super king bed, study, lounge, dressing room, and its own private staircase.
In addition to the main residence, the estate includes a Grade II-listed coach house with three self-contained cottages, a separate four-bedroom home, and multiple garages and outbuildings.
The property’s grounds are as spectacular as the home itself, fully enclosed by a 10-foot wall and featuring a sunken garden, meadow, orchard, flowerbeds, walled garden, ornamental trees, and even a lake.
A large field to the north has potential for polo or equestrian use, and planning permission is in place to convert the coach house into a luxury spa.
Despite its idyllic seclusion, Denham Place offers plenty of convenience.
It borders a championship golf course, is just 17 miles from central London, and is a short drive from Heathrow Airport and the Northolt Private Jet Centre.
