Rebirth

Chapter 511: Britain's Largest Private Residence

While Li Feng was resting his mind and traveling with the United States to Britain, Li Feng saw news about Diana in media reports. Sure enough, Diana, accompanied by his younger brother, the contemporary Earl of Spencer, attended with Prince Charles. A press conference shocked the whole of England and even Europe.

At the press conference, Diana announced that she had resigned from the title of'Princess of Wales', stating that although she had a good memory with Prince Charles, her marriage broke up. Like ordinary people, perhaps both parties were at fault, and now there is nothing left of what was once. Good memories and blessings to each other so much.

It shows the blessings to both parties, and hopes that the people will continue to support the royal family, etc., and then show that since becoming a princess until now, he has lived for others, and now he is also middle-aged. Years old), in the future, I hope to live a good life for myself and live the life of ordinary people.

Including quitting all kinds of things in the body, just retaining the title of honor, and even claiming that he would go to school to study hard to build a foundation for his future life and career, it can be said that he has done a good job, and Li Feng is also happy from the heart.

Obviously, my own efforts have yielded results. If this is the case, there will still be car accidents in the future, then God can only be blamed, Li Feng thought.

When Li Feng returned to London with Zeta Jones and a group of security personnel from the castles and beautiful fields in England, he unexpectedly received a banquet from Prince Charles.

...

Yes, Li Feng, who had originally wanted to leave, was persuaded by Zeta Jones to plan to visit Britain, especially those rural castles. Li Feng had heard about it in his previous life. Therefore, it can be said that he is wandering all over England this time. After a lap, I had a good experience of those old castles.

To say that there are really countless manor castles in the United Kingdom, and they are of different sizes. This time Li Feng really watched a lot. Li Feng should not listen too much about the British castles, such as Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Churchill Manor. Wait, they are all famous.

This time, Li Feng had just returned from a visit to the Wentworth-Woodhouse Mansion, which is known as the'Britain's Largest Private Mansion'. He was really shocked to see this mansion, it was too big.Although it is an exaggeration to say that it is the largest private residence, it is definitely one of the largest.

Recently, Li Feng has also visited many luxurious castles and mansions. Seeing this mansion, Li Feng still feels that he is a'countryman'. It is really spectacular.

I have to say that although there are some manor houses in the United States, such as Rockefeller Manor and Hearst Castle, they are also very beautiful and magnificent.

But to really see the castle manor or to go to Europe, whether it is France, Germany or the United Kingdom, such a manor castle is the essence of manor and castle architecture in human history.

This time I saw this mansion known as the "British Largest Private Residence", and Li Feng was also eye-opening.Other than that, the main private mansion covering an area of ​​2.5 acres left Li Feng dumbfounded, which was a bit surprised.

Li Feng currently has a lot of luxury homes, whether it is Beverly’s Century Manor, which has always been known as the "Beverly Property Transaction Record", or private property in various places, such as the courtyard building in Beijing and Kensington in London. The mansions on Garden Street, especially the courtyard houses in the background city, cover an area of ​​nearly 10,000 square meters (including gardens, gardens, etc.), but they are too small compared to a pure private residence.

...

The history of this mansion can be traced back to the 17th century. It is located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, and originally belonged to the Marquis of Stratford.It is a pity that this Marquis who belongs to the Wentworth family was relatively short-lived, and was eventually beheaded because of the failure of political investment.

Later it passed to another member of the Wentworth family-the first Marquis of Rockingham. The Marquis of Rockingham-the Wentworth family was a famous noble family in England at the time. The second generation of Marquis of Rockingham was elected twice. Prime Minister of Britain.

At first the mansion was still in the hands of the Wentworth family. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The second generation of Marquis had no male descendants, and was later inherited by his grandson, the Earl of Fitzwilliam family (aristocratic marriage, Wentworth family daughter married Fitz Earl of the William family).

Whether it was the Wentworth family or the Fitzwilliam family, they were one of the largest landlords in the UK at the time, and the top family.

This mansion was built by the original Marquis of Strafford and has been continuously expanded by the Marquis of Rockingham by two generations, including the Baroque building in the east wing and the later expansion of the west wing.

In particular, the mansion building in the west wing is 606 feet long and 185 meters long. The entire mansion has more than 200 rooms, and the building area alone has reached an incredible 2.5 acres.

After completion, the front east wing of this mansion became the largest behemoth in Europe. It is wider than Buckingham Palace, Chatsworth Mansion, Brennan Palace, and even the most splendid Palace of Versailles in France.

...

The whole mansion is divided into three parts according to the level. The center is naturally the mansion mansion itself. The mansion itself is surrounded by 180 acres of luxurious royal private gardens supporting the mansion, and the outermost part is 15,000 acres of rural land, mountains and forests.

It is a pity that the family’s back was unsuccessful. After World War II, the Earl of Fitzwilliam family only passed down to the 10th generation of earls. After the death of the last earl in 1979, the earl title naturally disappeared due to no direct descendants. As a result, the mansion eventually became the family trust fund.Naturally, the holder of the family trust fund is a collateral member of the Fitzwilliam family.

This mansion, including the surrounding gardens, was sold to a real estate agent in 1989. Unfortunately, the real estate agent was also in bad luck.

From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, the real estate industry in the UK and even the world was at a low period. As a result, the real estate developer also went bankrupt. Now the mansion is in the hands of a local bank.

What Li Feng didn’t know was that two years later, the mansion and surrounding gardens were bought by a local architect for only £1.5 million, mainly because the mansion was in disrepair and leaks everywhere. No one wants it at all.

If you buy it, just renovate and renovate this mansion will not be affordable by ordinary rich people, it is too big.

Later, the architect had no choice. After all, the architect is just a wealthy class. If he wants to renovate this mansion on his own strength, he can only dream. In the end, he can only hope that the British government and the local government can take advantage of it. Money came out to renovate the mansion.

...

Until the rebirth of Li Feng's previous life, although the celebrities and politicians including Prince William of the United Kingdom proposed to renovate the mansion, it could then be opened to the public to receive tourists or something.

However, the office efficiency of John Bull’s government is actually very low (definitely not much faster or even slower than our great dynasty). According to the prediction of the media, within a few decades, this mansion will not really appear.

As for the former owners of the mansion, the Fitzwilliam family and members, the family still holds 15,000 acres of land around the mansion and many other real estate resources, living the life of a leisurely big landowner in the country.Although it can't be rich and noble, it can guarantee continuous family inheritance.

However, the family once auctioned the valuable collections and cultural relics and antiques left by the family twice during the 48 and 86 years.It can also be seen from here that the Fitzwilliam family is definitely in decline, or else they wouldn't sell all the family possessions.

Recently, I heard the news that it is said that the family may have to put out a part of the family collection for auction recently. If the time is right, Li Feng wants to join in the fun.

After all, such ancient family collections are definitely worth buying by Li Feng.If you can find a few exquisite cultural relics, it will definitely make a lot of money.However, such auctions are basically only available after being invited, and Li Feng has made up his mind to see if there is a suitable opportunity.

...

Well, why do you think Li Feng is so clear about the situation of this mansion? It's not that Li Feng has moved a little bit, but the name of the largest private mansion in Britain, Li Feng has moved a little bit.

Therefore, after passing the tour guide and getting a brief understanding of the situation, he directly contacted Adam in London, and then asked him to collect detailed information about the mansion, which gave him a detailed understanding.

Just think of a huge mansion with a construction area of ​​2.5 acres. Whenever he thinks of a magnificent mansion, Li Feng has an inexplicable excitement. Well, Li Feng has liked something particularly large in his life.

In particular, such mansions are actually the most scarce wherever they are. For example, although there are some large family estates in the United Kingdom, they are either in the hands of the old noble families, or the former families have gone bankrupt, and most of them have become national After the assets and repairs began to open to the outside world, there are actually very few that can actually circulate in the market.

What's more, after Li Feng Adam sent someone to understand the situation, he knew that the price was still very cheap.

This time, Li Feng's addiction to buying a mansion was committed again.The only regret is that the mansion is in South Yorkshire, not in the countryside near London, which is a pity.

...

At the same time, Li Feng was also thinking about letting Adam collect the heritage of British aristocratic manor castles and so on. If there is a good one, he may also be able to invest and operate the idea.
