Tim Burton Lists His Charming Oxfordshire Residence for £4.5 Million
Acclaimed filmmaker Tim Burton has placed his stunning eight-bedroom country estate in Sutton Courtenay on the market for £4.5 million. Located approximately four miles from Abingdon, this historic former mill house dates back to 1741, showcasing exquisite period details. Visitors are greeted by a picturesque courtyard draped in roses, leading to a cozy study adorned with an intricately carved fireplace. The second level features two attic bedrooms, a spacious bathroom, and a sitting area, making it an ideal retreat for teenagers. Surrounding the property are 17 acres of beautifully designed grounds that include gardens, waterways, and river frontage along the Thames, complete with three islands—a picturesque sanctuary reminiscent of a cinematic masterpiece.
Meanwhile, in Wapping, East London, broadcaster and writer Graham Norton is selling his stunning Georgian house, which has been his home for the past two decades. This grade II listed property, set in the Pier Head conservation area and featuring a private garden square, was originally constructed as a customs office in 1811 by the London Dock Company. The spacious four-story house boasts two reception rooms, a remarkable principal suite that spans the entire top floor, alongside three additional bedrooms. An adjoining two-story building with airy double-height ceilings could serve as the perfect studio space. The home offers vaulted ceilings, river views, and direct access to an expansive riverside garden.
Norton commented on his decision to downsize, saying, “We’ve been considering it for a couple of years, and I finally feel ready for a significant change in my life. My favorite moments have definitely been enjoying a drink by the river on a summer evening. My least favorite memory is when one of the dogs got stuck in a neighbor’s shrub.”
