Even in a country where there is a large number of impressive castles and palaces, Wentworth Woodhouse is incredible estate...
Almost three centuries old, this magnificent villa has the widest facade in Europe, even two times bigger than Buckingham Palace. With as many as 25,000 m2 of living space, this is absolutely the largest private villa throughout the UK. This fantastic villa is situated in the heart of the estate which is like a park and which measures about 90 acres. It reportedly has about 5 miles of corridors. There are 365 rooms which vary in sizes and shapes, while you can comprehend its size with the fact that, at one point, one thousand persons were hired for its basic maintenance.
Since 1999, this villa is owned by architect Clifford Newbold, which he bought at the price of only 1.5 million British pounds. Now it is on sale at a significantly higher price - for the requested sum of seven million pounds, or about $ 11 million. However, for this kind of property that is like a palace the price is still pretty low. There is one catch to the whole story. The one who decides to purchase this villa will have to spend about 50 million pounds on various repairs caused by a nearby mine.
