But the royal links aren't the only appeal of the estate - according to real estate agent Strutt and Parker's property brochure on Elmestree, it has a vibrant history dating all the way back to the 12th century.

The main house, straddled by parkland and gardens, was built in 1844 and connects to a 17th-century former farmhouse now called Farm End.
The front entrance to the main house is opened up by two imposing wooden doors.

Sudlow also said it's possible Elmestree could be turned into a commercial venture: "The opportunity to create an exceptional destination here is huge."
Though many of the original features of the house remain, there is plenty of room for innovation.
