Grade I listed Jacobean prodigy house in Hampshire for sale for £10 million; it allegedly is haunted by 14 ghosts and comes with planning permission to create a mammoth 57,000 square foot single residential home
In April 2017, The Steeple Times featured the sale of a vast New Jersey mansion named Darlington. Offered for the sum of £37 million, that property remains for sale but now the English Jacobean prodigy house on which it was modelled has also been placed on the market.
Used as a police college from the 1950s until 2013, Bramshill House, near Hook has permission to be returned to a single family residence with a colossal total size of 56,974 square feet. Described as “one of England’s great stately homes,” the proposed accommodation that could be created – after a supposed additional expenditure of £10 million on refurbishments on top of the £10 million asking price – would include 10 reception rooms and 10 bedrooms. Additionally, there would be a 126-foot long gallery, a cinema, gym, a wine cellar, a disco and even a chapel.
Bramshill was built in the early 17th century by Baron Edward la Zouche (1556 – 1625), famed for his lone vote against the condemnation of Mary Queen of Scots, and is described as being of the Italian Renaissance style. It was later occupied by the 2nd Baron Brocket and the exiled King Michael and Queen Anne of Romania before being acquired by the British government in 1953.
Sold in 2014 to property developers City & Country in 2014, the estate – then totaling some 262 acres – was sub-divided and now Knight Frank are the agents for the mansion and 92 acres of Grade I registered parkland.

The adjoining housing development will be considered a security risk I'd say to anyone capable of spending £20 million on this house. It is a beautiful building but just like the American version, who'd want plebs at the bottom of the garden?
What a dump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wrecking ball urgently required!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So ugly and old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Full of rats and damp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop talking about your wife on here! This article is about a lovely old house.
He's 97 and gay.
So leave his wife out of it.
And I love him.
I think its you that needs a wrecking ball to smash you in the chops so we dont have to hear what you have to say becauseyou are an idiot x
Leave him alone, you bully.
At least he's honest.
Please can i have your address
this "Rod" person seems to hate any house that has history and character. sadly, he can't seem to see the value in anything that has either. that's very sad and says much about HIS character.
it's a beautiful building.
I quite like him
It should be turned into a museum.
It could be turned into a hotel surely. That way many more would get to enjoy its beauty.
Oligarch alert!
English Heritage and the National Trust should step in. This house should be saved for the nation --- and they could do ghost tours.
It is a great pity that so much of the original land has been separated. It will greatly detract from the value.
Sir Benjamin Slade should buy it and fill it with his “breeder” women. I can’t think of anyone else who’d need 57,000 square Feet!
Megme and Hairy might like it.
Fancier than the froggy pokehole they've had dumped on them.
Did Lord Brocket bury any cars in the garden? If so, it is worth buying as any Ferraris that are found could be worth more than the asking price.
Imagine the cost of fixing the roof and the heating bill and then run.... Run for the hills.
