Abstract

Big Motoring World founder Peter Waddell is selling his historic Holwood House estate in Greater London for £23.5 million. The 40-acre property includes a 25,000-square-foot home with seven bedrooms, indoor swimming pool, tennis court, and cinema room. The Grade I listed estate has a rich history, having been owned by the UK's youngest prime minister, William Pitt, and visited by figures like Charles Darwin and Winston Churchill. Waddell, who grew up in a children's home in Scotland, is retiring and moving to Spain after spending £18 million on renovations. [Extracted from the article]
