Updown Court is situated in the village of Windlesham in Surrey, in the UK. The property has 58 acres of landscaped gardens and private woodland and boasts a total of 103 rooms, yes 103!!!

Originally built in 1924 and was acquired by Egyptian Prince Sami Gayed 53 years later, the mansion was damaged by a fire in 1987.

A developer called Leslie-Allen Vercoe, purchased the property costing $38.4M. He then re-developed and re-designed the property which costed him $60M on top of the initial fee! The new development was designed by an Arizona based architectural company who made the Updown Court into the uber luxurious property you see today.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a $3M heated marble driveway.

Out of the 103 rooms, there are 24 bedrooms which have their own marble en-suite bathrooms.

The property has some serious entertainment going on in the form of:

A fully automated double-lane bowling alley
A squash court
A tennis court
A total of five swimming pools including an infinity pool
A wine cellar with a capacity of 3000 bottles
A panic room
A cinema room that can accommodate 50 people
And much more!

The first floor is mainly designed as the residential area and it has 8 huge bedrooms. The penthouse floors on the other hand boasts two penthouse apartments having 2 bedrooms, reception areas, luxury bathrooms and kitchen in each.

The whole property was valued at $138M in 2005 and in October 2011, the property was sold at almost half the price.
