Masterfully restored Grade I listed stately home in 42 acres of parkland
The history of this ambassadorial proportioned home dates back to 1688, with a residential and guest list of formidable characters that include noblemen, Hollywood producers, aristocrats and even Kings and Queens. It is no wonder that this is one of the UK’s most important country estates with palatial style and substance. Today, much of that grandeur is the result of the masterful restoration conducted by Alex Kravetz, whose lavish refurbishment history includes The Dorchester in London and The Imperial in Vienna. The eight-year project to transform Denham into a majestic palace of timeless opulence has been assisted by English Heritage and The Georgian Society and produced magnificent results that must be seen to be believed.
No expense has been spared in the detailing, from the decorative 22-carat gold leaf to the Italian marble, the hardwood flooring to the handwoven silk panels produced at England’s oldest surviving textile mill. Showcasing this extraordinary home once you have taken possession will be all the easier with the entertainment-centred lower ground floor. On this level there is a party room, bar, informal dining room, wine cellar, catering kitchen, cinema, fully equipped gym and a banqueting hall. Moving upwards, the ground floor has an array of exquisite state rooms including an elegant formal dining room with high vaulted ceiling, a private chapel lounge, a billiards room, breakfast room, library and study. Amongst the simply splendid bedroom suites on the upper floors of the home is the Misbourne Suite, arguably one of the largest principal suites in London, which spans two floors and has its own study, dressing room, lounge and specially commissioned four-poster super king-size bed. In addition to the main house, the estate also has a Grade II Listed Coach House that has been converted into three self-contained cottages, a four-bedroom detached cottage and various garages.
Spanning 39,724 sq. ft. the vastness of the property is as impressive as its incredible grounds, with 42 acres of parkland and Grade II listed grounds enclosed by a 10ft wall and encompassing a meadow, orchard, ornamental trees, formal sunken garden, flowerbeds, walled garden and a lake. Prospective luxury property buyers with vision will certainly be emboldened by the opportunities still presented by the house and its grounds, including the large parkland field to the north that is ideal for polo or equestrian use and the coach house which, along with the estate cottages, outbuildings and garages, has planning consent for conversion to a state-of-the-art spa.
Denham Place is situated on the edge of Denham Village in Buckinghamshire and borders a championship golf course. It is a secluded rural retreat, with a refreshingly tranquil setting that provides unrivalled privacy and exclusivity. But Denham Place is also still highly accessible, with central London just 17 miles away, Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Belgravia are just a 30-minute drive away and it is only a short distance from Heathrow Airport and Northolt Private Jet Centre.
