The English mansion where Stanley Kubrick lived during the “The Shining” production lists for $ 9 million

Here is a property that is outside the central casting.

Stanley Kubrick’s old Hertfordshire House, the place he dominated as “The Shining”, “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “A Clockwork Orange”, among others, has just hit the market for a blockbuster price: almost $ 9 million.

The eight -bedroom English estate, known as Abbots Mead, is located in Barnet Lane in Elsree, on the outskirts of London. Savills is marketed by Savills, according to a statement of a broker sent on Friday.

And for serious cinema buffs, this is not just the manor house, but a shrine in film history.

The late Kubrick, born in New York, bought the property in 1965 and spent 14 years intensely productive there. He died in 1999.

Thanks to his proximity to Elsree Studios, the Produus author was able to manage everything, from production and editing to pioneering special purposes, all without leaving his 2-hectare brochure.

“We are fortunate enough to have the privilege of selling many great houses that have a rich and varied history. However, it is rare that some place has such a direct link with cinema, unless it has been used as an outbreak location,” said Steven Spencer, head of the Rickmansworth Savills Office, in a statement.

Spencer added: “The proximity to Elsree Studios made it the perfect base for Kubrick and his family, but also worked hard from home, carefully managing all aspects of four films of his extraordinary work body from his four walls.”

Located behind the wrought iron doors and marked with a commemorative blue plate, the mansion of 7,700 square feet extends a charm lordship and an opulence of the old school. Think of the ornate cornices, the growing ceilings, the marble fireplaces, a carved staircase and a living room that opens to a sunny conservatory.

The main suite is completed with a window of the bay, a dressing room and its bathrooms. There are also five more bedrooms on the upper floor, as well as a study for any cinema that is hoping to follow in Kubrick’s footsteps.

But the estate does not end there: a separate accommodation with its four bedrooms and private garden sits on the enclosure, along with a two -room apartment placed on top of an independent garage.

Outside, the careful gardens give way to a pergola covered with Wisteria, a pool, a pool house with sauna and even a small orchard.

“Apart from its history, Abbots Mead is a beautiful vintage house in itself,” Spencer said.

“Well -provided rooms provide a generous family space with a sense of greatness, while the ripe trees at the garden boundaries ensure a lot of privacy and are the perfect backdrop for a beautiful environment.”

And, although it can feel like a far away world, the property is a quick displacement in London thanks to the nearby station Elsree and Borehamwood.
