Trafalgar Park in Wiltshire was given to the naval hero’s elder brother and heirs to commemorate the Battle of Trafalgar victory of 1805, and sold to private investors in 1948.
More recently, several TV period dramas and movies have been filmed within the grounds of the Grade I listed property, including ‘Sense and Sensibility’, ‘Amazing Grace’ and Danny Boyle’s zombie blockbuster ‘28 Days Later’.
Current owner Michael Wade is selling the property through estate agent Savills.
“Trafalgar Park is a wonderful family home, and its ongoing architectural restoration has been a labour of love,” said Michael.
“During my tenure we have enjoyed and recorded opera and instrumentalists in the Baroque Hall, had the Globe Theatre Company perform Shakespeare - not to mention film stars and zombies for the films made at Trafalgar Park.
“For me, it is time for a new chapter and to find a successor custodian for this magnificent piece of art set, as it is, in a beautiful landscape affording complete privacy yet so convenient for London.”
Crispin Holborow, Country Director of Savills Private Office, concluded: “Trafalgar Park is an architectural gem, and represents the cream of the crop of fine country houses to be marketed in 2016.
“It has astonishingly fine rooms in a beautiful peaceful location.”
