As far as catastrophically huge, all-encompassing mansions go, Englefield Green in Egham is pretty darn impressive. It’s so big that it practically has its own gravitational force, with its many number of surrounding buildings circling it like moons would a large planet.
The house is nestled within approximately 102 acres of land and with its dominating driveway – lined with stately tress – inhabitants could very easily shut themselves off from the outside world. Despite being reminiscent of traditional English country houses, this property is in fact a relatively new build, having been constructed between 1999 and 2001. According to the listing it does require some work to make it pristine though, but that’s probably expected given the sheer size of the place and the fact that it would probably require a small army to maintain it on a daily basis. Said army would be well catered for though, as included in the estate are four cottages and two bedroom log cabins, so everyone will have somewhere to stay.
Inside the main house there are six enormous bedrooms, but as they are all upstairs you’ll likely have to navigate through some of the five grand reception rooms first. If after this you fancy some more exercise, then why not make your way to the full size polo pitch, stick and ball field or even the fully lit tennis court and show everyone what you’re made of? The amenities don’t stop there though, as this Egham mainstay has its very own leisure complex, allowing you to unwind in utter comfort and luxury. Featuring an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, changing room and relaxation area, it really is a jack-of-all-trades. What’s more, if you ever find yourself wanting to make a quick exit then the ready-to-use helipad should come in handy, from time to time.
