A luxury house
Newspapers have described Updown Court as ‘one of the most beautiful homes in the world’ and
they are probably right. This four-floor mansion in Californian style is in a village in Surrey, in the
south of England. This 103-room house features several bedrooms, a cinema hall, a bowling alley
and five pools. The outdoor pools are heated and the place offers many options for sports activities
thanks to the gym, the tennis courts and the indoor football pitch. The garden has a lake. The garage
is huge, with enough space for eight luxury cars. The owners put Updown Court on sale around
twenty years ago and that year it was the most expensive private home on the market.
