If you've ever wished you could live like the Windsors, this may be your chance.
Last week, an estate that formerly belonged to The Queen's grandparents, the Earl and Countess of Strathmore, Claude and Cecilia Bowes Lyon, hit the market to the tune of £30 million, according to The Daily Mail. The property has played host to none other than The Queen and Princess Margaret, who often visited their grandparents at the country home, called Woolmers Park, as young ladies. Australian site Adelaide Now reports that Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret played in the grand garden, and goes so far to guess that that it's the spot where Her Majesty fell in love with horses. Now, in light of The Queen's 90th birthday, when nostalgia for Queen Elizabeth's childhood is at an all-time high, we have a feeling this place won't be for sale for long.
In 1949, a businessman bought the estate and established the Herfordshire Polo Club, where Prince Charles played while he studied at Cambridge University. Though the home was most recently sold in 1997, it comes as no surprise The Daily Mail already considers the property to be one of the most historic sales of the year.
Located 22 miles from London, the eight cottage estate, which spans 232 acres, features five elegant reception rooms - ideal for entertaining - as well as polo and equestrian facilities. Savills, the real estate firm listing the property, touts that the property has no public rights of way, ensuring the buyer's privacy on site.
