The late Victorian property, known as Abbots Mead, served as Kubrick’s home for 14 years after he purchased it in 1965 following his disillusionment with Hollywood according to Country Life.
The American director lived and worked at the Elstree property while producing several of his most acclaimed films.
During his time at Abbots Mead, Kubrick managed the production, editing and distribution of “A Clockwork Orange,” “The Shining,” “Barry Lyndon” and “2001: A Space Odyssey.”
The property’s proximity to EMI Elstree Studios made it an ideal base for the filmmaker.
Steven Spencer of Savills Rickmansworth holds the listing and said the property has a unique cinematic connection.
“It’s rare for somewhere to have such a direct link to filmmaking unless it’s been used as a location for shoots,” Mr Spencer said.
The nine-bedroom estate spans more than 7,700 square feet across three floors and sits on over two acres of meticulously maintained grounds.
The property features large windows and high ceilings that flood the interior with natural light, while traditional fireplaces add character throughout.
“The close proximity to Elstree Studios made it the perfect base for Kubrick and his family, but he also worked a lot from home, carefully managing all aspects of four films from his extraordinary body of work from within its four walls,” Mr Spencer said.
The estate has been expanded and updated over the years, now featuring luxury amenities including a heated swimming pool, pool house with sauna, two greenhouses and an orchard.
A blue plaque commemorates Kubrick’s time at the residence, marking its significance in film history.
The property also includes additional accommodation.
A single garage attached to the main house features a two-bedroom apartment on its first floor, while the grounds also contain Abbots Mead Lodge, a separate 3,200-square-foot detached four-bedroom house with its own private garden.
The location offers excellent connectivity, with Elstree and Borehamwood nearby and easy access to major motorways, including the A1, M1 and M25, making London readily accessible.
Kubrick, though born in New York City, spent more than half his life in Hertfordshire.
His work on “The Shining” at this property has particular significance, as the horror classic was filmed almost exclusively at the nearby EMI Elstree Studios.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity to own a true piece of filmmaking history that helped shape some of the most iconic films in cinema,” Mr Spencer said.
