Updown Court - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is currently the largest private residence to be built in the United Kingdom since the 19th century and was listed with Savills and Hamptons International (estate agencies), in 2005 for £70 million (138 million USD).
Updown Court is entered by a £2 million (3 million USD) heated marble driveway.[6] Updown Court has 103 rooms, of which 24 are bedrooms, each with its own marble en-suite bathroom. Among other features, it has a fully automated two-lane bowling alley, five swimming pools including an Infinity pool, a squash court, a floodlit tennis court, a wine cellar with a capacity for 3,000 bottles and a panic room. There are 5 acres (20,000 m2) of more than 30 different types of imported Italian marble, expansive terraces, and a customizable cinema with a 50 seat capacity. It also features an underground garage, with granite flooring, that has enough room for eight luxury cars or limousines.[7] The first floor is the main residential area, featuring eight generous bedroom suites, all en-suite. The penthouse floor contains two separate penthouse apartments, each with two bedrooms, reception area, bathroom, kitchen and occupies an entire wing of the property.[7]
Updown Court is set in the centre of 58 acres (230,000 m2) of delightful gardens and mature woodland. Neighbors include Elton John, Sarah, Duchess of York, Queen guitarist Brian May and even Elizabeth II once resided locally.Comment

But if it's just a quick chat, you could steer the conversation towards astrophysics and lightning very very frightening. Galileo! Galileo! Oh wait, I see what you mean now. Have to cost in the electric fences.Originally posted by Pondlife View PostComment
