A local estate agent has listed a property on the Wilton Estate as 'available to rent'.

Salisbury estate agents Whites on Castle Street are offering local people a rare opportunity to rent Bulbridge House on the 14,000-acre Wilton Estate, the private estate of the Earl and Countess of Pembroke.

Bulbridge House blends Georgian architecture with modern luxury after being remodelled in the late 18th Century by James Wyatt. The property sits in the grounds of Wilton House; the setting for Bridgerton, The Crown, Tomb Raider and more.

But, you will need deep pockets. Whites are listing the home for let at £8,500 per month.

Their listing says, "A 10-bedroom home, which sits within the 14,000-acre Wilton Estate, is being let for £8,500pcm by Salisbury estate agent Whites".

The Grade II-listed building was built around 1700, remodelled then renovated again in 2019 - but Whites say it has kept many of its impressive original features including a loggia, designed by renowned British artist Rex Whistler.

Their listing claims, "The 10,792 sq ft home’s typical Georgian features include large sash windows with original wooden shutters, beautiful high ceilings, feature fireplaces, ornate ceiling cornicing and a reception hall. A skylight, stylish oak kitchen, mezzanine hallway and upgrades to the seven bathrooms and staircase have been added to make it more suitable for modern living".

Whites' director Marcus Shepherd says, “This is a fantastic opportunity to live on an estate steeped in such rich history, that doesn’t come around often. You could enjoy panoramic countryside views and walk in the footsteps of some of Britain’s famous historical figures.

“Bulbridge House is architecturally impressive and having been modernised recently it will be a very special and unique family home. We urge anyone who is interested in this rarely available home to get in touch.”

Bulbridge House is situated on South Street. Its history includes being military headquarters during the World War II and the location for the planning of the D-Day landings, with key figures like Winston Churchill and President Eisenhower regularly meeting there.

Wilton House and the grounds around Bulbridge House have been used as filming locations for more than 40 films and TV series, including Netflix’s ‘Bridgerton’ and ‘The Crown’ along with ‘Tomb Raider, ‘Emma’ and ‘Pride and Prejudice (2004)’.
