A glimpse in to the UK’s most expensive homes

Have you ever wondered how the homes of the rich and famous look?

12 Bedroom Mayfair Mansion: Sitting at a whopping £54,000,000, this 12-bedroom mansion in the heart of Mayfair encompasses pure wealth and luxury. This remarkable home is spread over six spectacular floors. The property boasts both a family and a ‘dirty’ kitchen and multiple reception rooms. The home also has 12 large bedrooms and a magnificent rooftop terrace, which will struggle to be beaten anywhere in the capital. However, the true pièce de resistance is the basement, as this property is home to Mayfair’s largest private swimming pool. This home provides a true oasis, in perhaps one of the busiest areas in the entire country.

Pure Luxury on the South Coast: In the southeast, £7,000,000 will afford one lucky owner this stunning home. Sitting just west of Exeter is a magnificent, 14th-century property that has been painstakingly restored over the past decade. The centrepiece of this home is unlike anything you will find in any other residential property in the country. This home centres around a grand library, whose shelves are lined with over 22,000 books. This library is surrounded by 10 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and 6 reception rooms. This incredible property is aimed at a multigenerational household. The home has also been used as a wedding venue, and a backdrop to many dazzling photoshoots.

Nevertheless, the true magnificence of this property lies in its beautiful grounds. The home is enveloped by parklands, woodlands and even a private river. Sitting just to the east of the property is a full-sized tennis court, perfect for friendly games. 

An Opulent Cotswolds Escape: This 7 bedroom Cotswolds mansion provides the ultimate country sanctuary. The house sits behind a generous gravel driveway which gives a first impression of the home that one would expect from a property worth £6,000,000. Whilst the home itself is stunning; the highlight is the 10 acres of superb grounds that surround the house. While exploring the gardens, visitors will be drawn to the centrally located, wisteria-covered archway. Head through the archway, and guests will be amazed to discover a fully heated outdoor swimming pool. As any multimillion-pound home should, the property comes with two additional buildings. One is presently used as an office, and the other provides the current owners with a significant and lucrative rental income. 

7 Floors on London’s Most Prestigious Road: This home is 7 floors of pure luxury, with views that are unrivalled across the whole of the city. Sitting on one of the most lusted after streets in London, which is popular with the world’s most wealthy. Unsurprisingly, this property is currently listed for £27,000,000.

The artwork, décor and furnishings throughout the whole home exude extravagance, working hard to balance the classic features with a modern twist. Interestingly, one of the six living rooms sits on the very top floor, offering fantastic views and the ideal place to entertain guests in the city. With over 9000 square feet of indulgence, this home is a prime example of where the richest in the world enjoy spending their time. This property is on the doorstep of the worlds best shopping and fine dining, meaning the new owner will not struggle to enjoy spending their money in the local area.

An Essex Stately Home: This fourteen bedroom stately home in Essex is precisely what many dream of in a countryside escape. Valued at just under £9,000,000, this colossal home even comes with planning permission to extend the already massive property. This country retreat comprises four separate buildings, and the planning permission mentioned, grants the new owners the ability to join the homes together, creating a complete Georgian empire. While the décor might not be up to the modern tastes of the new millionaire buyer, the home comes complete with 12 bathrooms and a gymnasium. With a little love and attention, the new owner will be able to catapult this mansion into the 21st century relatively easily. The property is also completely gated and secure, with each building having two separate driveways. Not only is this the perfect home for those who are super-rich, but those who value their privacy and safety to the utmost degree.
