After Almost 20 Years, Tim Burton Is Selling His Historic English Home For Just Over $6 Million

Tim Burton has built up quite the real estate portfolio both in the U.S. and the U.K., but the American filmmaker and director is saying goodbye to the historic English property he's owned for nearly 20 years. Known as Mill House, the home has been listed for a little over $6 million, as detailed in the Savills listing that's held by Hugh Maconochie.

Burton purchased the property in 2006 for $3.8 million, according to Architectural Digest. At the time, he was with his then-partner, actress Helena Bonham Carter, with whom he worked with on "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" and other films.

Mill House is in the center of Sutton Courtenay, an Oxfordshire village. This property has some incredible history behind it. In the late 1600s and early 1700s, the Bank of England commissioned Sutton Mill to produce a hard-to-forge paper for bank notes. The Mill thrived, and in 1741, the Mill House was built for the foreman of the mill to live in. The Mill closed in 1881, and it was demolished after years of neglect. However, the Mill House stayed put.

In 1913, Prime Minister Henry Asquith and his wife moved to Sutton Courtenay and bought a couple houses. He also bought the Mill House to use for guests. The three homes were renovated with architect Walter Cave in the driver's seat. Asquith passed away in 1928 and is buried in the Sutton Courtenay churchyard.

The 284-year-old home sits on about 17 acres. It features eight bedrooms, four bathrooms and four reception rooms – an English term used to describe rooms where people can sit together. The interior is certainly charming with a winding staircase, ornately carved fireplaces, original wooden shutters and paneled doors. But the exterior is wow-worth with gardens, grounds and waterways, including the River Thames making up the property's northern boundary. There are three islands that would be all yours, too.

"This graceful and quintessentially English 18th century country house sits gently within its exquisite landscape," says the listing. "Lovely 19th century cast-iron window boxes beneath 16-pane sash windows and hipped dormers to the second floor, all make for a delightful entrance to the front of the house."

This is certainly a unique property and will require a special person to take on its maintenance and appreciate its beauty. There aren't too many opportunities for a rare, historic home like this one.
