A Buckinghamshire mansion which is nearly 350 years old is currently up for sale.

Bulstrode Park, which is based in Gerrards Cross, has been the setting for some of the biggest television shows and movies in recent years, with scenes from Midsomer Murders, Maleficent and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory also being shot in the South Bucks location.

Known as the ‘Hanging Judge’, the property dates back to 1686 and was once the home of the infamous Judge Jeffreys.

Jeffries died on April 18 1689, in the Tower of London.

It was the second owner of the house – the 1st Earl of Portland - who died at the property in 1709.

Additionally, more than 260 patients were treated in 52 beds before it closed in December 1915 and used as the training headquarters for the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force during World War II.

The historic manor, just 40 minutes from central London, has around 40 acres of land and 12 separate buildings, including a Grade II-listed Pigeon Tower, and has a guide price of £6m.

Amy Selfe, Senior Surveyor at Landwood Group, said: “This huge estate with an incredible history and picturesque location has so much potential.

“It is set in beautiful countryside, just 40 minutes from Central London and could be turned into anything from a hotel to a luxury care home to a family home for one very lucky resident.

“Although this is brand new to the market, we’ve had lots of interest from individuals for a variety of uses. 

“Driving its marketability is its incredible history, the number of potential opportunities and the Gerrards Cross location. 

“There is no doubt that Bulstrode Park will be snapped up in a matter of weeks.”
