Property Details

Originally purchased as a simple plot in 1966, this remarkable estate has been transformed over decades into a one-of-a-kind Venetian Palace — a home unlike any other in the country. Inspired by the grandeur of Venetian art and architecture, the property blends Renaissance opulence with historic English character, creating an extraordinary private residence.

The interior is both lavish and theatrical. A dramatic reception room styled as an underground crypt showcases exposed yellow London stock bricks, salvaged from Thames-side properties long since demolished, giving the space a sense of deep history. Across the residence, seven bedrooms and six bathrooms are complemented by four reception rooms, each adorned with Renaissance-style painted murals that create the feeling of living within a work of art.

Among the many highlights is a sanctuary inspired by Windsor Castle itself, complete with an ornate fireplace and soaring ceiling, framed by two vast thrones. The master bedroom is no less spectacular, featuring a hand-painted mural reimagining John William Waterhouse’s depiction of the Greek myth of Hylas and the Nymphs, enveloping the space in timeless romance.

The grounds are equally enchanting. A meticulously designed Dutch garden features a replica of Tintern Abbey, a whimsical folly, and a cascading series of waterfalls, providing a setting of tranquility and spectacle in equal measure. Throughout the estate, painted murals, suits of armour, and even a moat add to the sense of fantasy and discovery, with the building having grown organically over time, always evolving and always surprising.

Set behind secure private gates, this Venetian Palace is not just a residence but an immersive experience — a world of art, history, and imagination brought vividly to life in the heart of Wraysbury, near Old Windsor
