15 August 2011 [13:08] - Today.Az
Britain’s most expensive home, Park Place, has been sold to a Russian buyer for a record £140m, it has emerged.
The buyer, who has not been identified, has snapped up the 300 year-old Grade II-listed property, in the village of Remenham, near Henley-on-Thames, Oxon.
The record sale also reportedly includes about 200 acres of the parklands, listed monuments, house, cottages, stables and a boat house.
The £140m sale price makes it Britain’s most expensive house, eclipsing the £136m sale at One Hyde Park, Knightsbridge, central London, earlier this year.
Experts said the sale showed that the top end property market was still buoyant despite the global economic crisis.
Park Place, which has 30,000 square feet of living space and is set in 570 acres, was bought for £42m in 2007 by Mike Spink, a developer who specialises in upmarket properties.
