Reader, it’s time to buy an estate. If you, most ardently, dream of being a nineteenth century dandy, today is your lucky day. An entire country estate in Suffolk called Glemham Hall is on sale for the first time in a century – and for the low, low price of only £19 million, it could be yours.
If you’ve recently run into the problem of having too many friends to possibly entertain in your measly one or two reception-roomed home, you’ll be relieved to know that there are seven in Glemham Hall. ‘But I want to move in with my eleven closest allies! Will we have space?’ We hear you cry, but fret not. With 12 bedrooms, you’ll all have a space to make your own. Unfortunately, there are only five dressing rooms, so you’ll have to ration those out amongst yourselves.
Your purchase comes complete with gardens and outhouse, perfect for containing any enemies of the house, or for hosting your parents on a bank holiday. If you’re on a budget, you can get the Glemham Hall house and its gardens for £4 million, and leave behind the nearly 1800 acres of land for a rival clan. Considering what that much would buy you in London Zone 1 or 2, it’s actually not even horrendously expensive.
Here’s some pictures of the inside of your new pad/operations base, including a large study to strategise and a table long enough to host the last supper.
