Serious square footage for anywhere.... But Englefield Green? That's a monster. Did you rattle around in it? I have some pals with a 15,000 sq ft property and it feels mahoosive.

Not really, my Father ran a company from there so the place was pretty busy most of the time - there were a couple of offices, big kitchens and a ballroom downstairs.... we lived upstairs. the courtyard in the pictures had workshops, a factory, offices and canteen - there were 3 drives and originally 6 or 7 tied cottages and a gate lodge house!! I had 3 siblings so it didn't feel empty at all - my grandparents also lived in half of it for a while too. The stables were Polo livery with access to Windsor Great Park and there was also a nursery garden run from there too. Fabulous place - it was quite a shock to stumble on it and it makes me sad to see it in disrepair. Hell of an upkeep needed to run it though.

My Father was married and had two children (boys) before us, I don't know precisely when he bought the house, only that I was born in it (60s) - but if they lived there when they were children then it could have been my half brothers , sadly neither are with us anymore (cancer)
