Denham Place, a distinguished 13-bedroom Grade-I listed stately home, has been put up for sale with a staggering price tag of £75 million. The property is being marketed by renowned estate agents Savills, Knight Frank, and Beauchamp Estates. This opulent mansion, nestled in 17 hectares (43 acres) of Buckinghamshire parkland, was designed by the celebrated landscape architect Lancelot “Capability” Brown. Owned by multimillionaire cosmetics mogul Mike Jatania, the residence is noted for its historical significance and cinematic connections, having reportedly served as a filming location for some iconic James Bond scenes.
The sale of Denham Place marks the end of an era for Jatania, who acquired the property from Rothmans, a cigarette company, in 2000 for approximately £20 million. Rothmans had previously used the mansion as its international headquarters. Now residing in tax-free Monaco, Jatania has decided to part with this luxurious estate, which stands as one of the most expensive properties outside London.
Denham Place, built between 1688 and 1701, boasts grand features that are sure to entice potential buyers. The estate agents describe it as "a private palace," offering "state room-style principal entertaining spaces" that cater to lavish gatherings and events. The house also includes a "family kitchen" and "a professional catering kitchen," ensuring it meets the culinary needs of both intimate family meals and large-scale entertaining.
“With an illustrious provenance that includes royalty, a banking tycoon and famous film producers, Denham Place is a veritable trophy asset.” – Gary Hersham, founding director of Beauchamp Estates.
In addition to its existing grandeur, Denham Place offers exciting development opportunities. There is planning consent to transform the coach house into a "VIP health spa," complete with an elegant glass conservatory enclosure. This potential for enhancement adds another layer of appeal to this already captivating property.
The stately home's allure is further heightened by its illustrious history and notable past residents. Over the centuries, Denham Place has been home to royalty, banking magnates, and famous film producers. This rich heritage contributes to its status as a symbol of opulence and prestige in the real estate market.
