Stanley Kubrick’s Hertfordshire Home For Sale

The former English countryside home of the late American film director Stanley Kubrick is now selling for £6.95 million.

Kubrick bought the property, named Abbots Mead, in 1965 and called it home for 14 years, according to Savills, who began marketing the property on Thursday. A blue plaque on the home’s exterior commemorates Kubrick’s tenure at the property, located about an hour north of London in the village of Elstree in Hertfordshire.

Some of Kubrick’s best-known works include “2001: A Space Odyssey,” “A Clockwork Orange” and “The Shining,” all of which, plus “Barry Lyndon,” he worked on while living at the estate, which is located near the production studio Elstree Studios. He died in 1999 at age 70 at Childwickbury Manor, also located in the same county, which he moved to after his time at Abbots Mead.

Sitting on 2.4 acres, the late Victorian brick mansion spans more than 7,700 square feet across three stories. The home still maintains many Victorian-era interior details, which include ornate cornicing, elaborate fireplace mantels and original doors.

There are nine bedrooms, with an upstairs primary suite that features a fireplace, a dressing room with built-in wardrobes and a bay window looking out at the garden.

The home’s expansive yard can be accessed through French doors in both the dining and family rooms, and in the garden, there’s a wisteria-covered pergola, a gazebo and a covered terrace. Other outdoor amenities include a heated pool, a pool house with a sauna, two greenhouses, a workshop and an orchard.

Above a detached garage—made up of a two-car garage and a separate one-car garage—is an apartment with a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The estate also has a 3,200-square-foot detached four-bedroom home with its own garden.
