Mansion formerly owned by the Earl and Countess of Strathmore, grandparents of Queen Elizabeth II

Woolmers Park, a sprawling English estate on almost 100ha was the former home to Earl and Countess of Strathmore, grandparents of Queen Elizabeth II.

Elizabeth and her younger sister Margaret often played in the grand gardens at Woolmers, a name which has now become synonymous with polo, until her grandparents sold the property in 1949.

Along with its meticulously renovated 1730s eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion, Woolmers Park is now home to the Hertfordshire Polo Club — just the spot where the Queen’s son Charles trained when he was attending Cambridge University.

The current owners have listed the historic property with a rumoured £30 million ($56 million) price expectation.

One of the big selling points listed in the marketing bumf by selling agents Savills is that the estate uniquely contains no public rights of way.

Inside the romantic heritage listed residence there are five elegant reception rooms, a large kitchen and morning room, family room, games room, cinema room and a two-bedroom staff flat.

Of course there are all the facilities for horsing around including extensive polo and equestrian facilities, a fenced mature parkland, mixed woodlands and shooting and fishing grounds on the banks of the River Lea, 43kms north of London.
