Entitled Denham Place, an estate just outside of London with Grade I Listed status has recently entered the luxury property market for around £75 million. While it dates back to 1688, each owner of the property has advanced its features for future generations, with sensitive refurbishments and discreet technology that doesn’t impact its appearance.
The country house in Buckinghamshire has an intriguing history. It once served as a home for the royal Bonaparte family, as well as a retreat for the renowned American investment banker J.P. Morgan. However, it has also enjoyed time on the silver screen when it was used as a set for the James Bond series. In the 1973 film Live and Let Die, during Roger Moore’s tenure as agent 007, Denham Place’s library was selected by Producer Harry Saltzman to fill the role of British Spymaster M’s office.
Over eight years, the manor house underwent an epic renovation helmed by Alexander Kravetz, the award-winning designer. The process introduced many new features which now remain hidden from view to avoid spoiling the historic aesthetic of the estate. As a result, the period elements like sash windows, ornate plaster work, hand-painted frescoes and lofty 16-foot ceiling can be appreciated without being marred by visible modern technology.
To this end, the estate is empowered with smart technology, its own elevator and opulent underfloor heating throughout. Underfloor heating is renowned for luxury renovation projects as all equipment can be completely hidden from sight.
