The money buys a two bedroom apartment within historic Gayhurst House, a magnificent, Grade I-listed, Elizabethan country manor in the village of Gayhurst near Newport Pagnell.
Set within beautiful parkland of around five acres, the house was built on the site of a Roman villa and given by Elizabeth 1st to Sir Francis Drake as a reward for his Armada triumph.
It was later home of the Digby family of Gunpowder Plot infamy and has variously been a satellite of the Bletchley Park codebreakers and a school, before being converted into apartments.
The property has its own tennis courts and a double garage with communal parking for numerous cars.
The apartment for sale, which is accessed by an impressive communal hallway, consists of two bedrooms and a study that has been used as another single bedroom in the past.
It is being sold by Artistry Estate Agents, who say: “Coming home through the parkland and the Great Hall of the house itself, it’s impossible to imagine a more special and inspiring place to live.”
Take a look through a gallery to photos to see the inside.
