King Charles II's Malmesbury House

Salisbury, United Kingdom (GB)

The house was bought by the Harris family, a wealthy dynasty of politicians and diplomats, in 1660 and kept in their ownership for more than 300 years. Over the centuries they shaped the way it looks today - including commissioning an extension by Sir Christopher Wren, who designed St Paul's Cathedral.

The current owners, George and Jayne Apter, bought the home in 2006 from the wife of Conservative MP John Cordle, who had passed away two years earlier.

The home was recently placed on the open marked for the first time in over 600 years for £5M.
