History
[edit ]The 37,000 sq ft house was built as Park Close between 1899 and 1901 in an eclectic mix of styles, most notably Arts & Crafts.[2] [3] The main house has 10 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and 6 reception rooms.[4] The estate includes 25 acres of mature gardens, cottages, stables and a large dower house.[5]
Park Close was owned in its early years by the civil engineer and politician Urban Hanlon Broughton as his summer residence.[2] In 1930, his widow Mrs Urban H. Broughton was still living there and at 37 Grosvenor Square, London.[6] In 1949, it was home to Norman Greenlees Weir.[7]
In 2004, it was bought for 8ドル million, by "resolutely anonymous" owners, but they apparently never moved in or did any work on the house, except to rename it as Windsor Court.[2]
In April 2016, it was listed for sale at 19ドル.9 million, having been reduced from 25ドル million.[3] As of June 2020 it is listed for sale at 15,999,950ドル.[4] [8] According to The New York Times , the house, which is in need of extensive and costly restoration work could be saved, but is "more likely to be knocked down and replaced".[3]
