Looking for Somewhere to Live?
If you have £70m to spend, you might consider Updown Court in Surrey, designed by John Scholz, bigger than Hampton Court or Buckingham Palace, conveniently close to Heathrow airport, and the most expensive house in Britain. Be advised it needs"millions more decorating and fitting out what, in many respects, is still a glorified shell." Personally, I find it all rather over-the-top. I think I'll settle for"Park Place, a 30,000 sq ft pile near Henley-on-Thames, which changed hands last month for a mere £42m." That's more my style, if not within my budget.
