The home of a wealthy councillor named David Horton – played by Gary Waldhorn – in the BBC religious sitcom, 9,145 square foot Missenden House dates to 1729 and was built as a “classic ‘Georgian box’ for Jonas Deacon, a prosperous East India merchant” according to selling agents Savills.
Remodelled by the present owners and featuring 3 reception rooms, 8 bedrooms and 2 annexes, the Grade II listed “landmark property” stands in gardens designed by Chelsea Flower Show gold medal winner Christopher Bradley-Hole and backs on to the River Misbourne. For car lovers, this could be the perfect pad: There is garaging for six cars within the grounds.
What a vulgar interior. Why does New Money love to ruin old beauty
Gorgeous. The luminescent blue staging is horrendous; what recreational pharmaceuticals for mood management was the person who did the staging on? But the actual house and gardens are super.
A delightful house well rid of the tasteless morons responsible for these crassly inappropriate interiors……Here’s hoping the new owners know better !!!
Gorgeous on the outside, but totally wrecked and destroyed on the inside!! Who was the villain who murdered the house ????
Just proves what I’ve always said, having money does not mean you have taste.
What ever possessed the present owners to destroy the interior in such a way?
I remember living here a long time ago in the 90’s. My brother and I loved living in that house. They have destroyed the kitchen. Shameful. Looks vastly different
