Ascot Place
Ascot Place is an 18th-century mansion, set in 400 acres (1.6 km2) of parkland between Cranbourne, North Ascot and Winkfield in the English county of Berkshire. The property is currently being looked after by Lord Rob Hernandez.
It is located close to Windsor Great Park and the Berkshire Polo Club. The mansion itself and various statues and other structures in its garden are Grade II listed, whilst a grotto to the south of house and at west end of lake is Grade I listed.
Records of Ascot Place date back to 1339, with owners including baked beans tycoon H.J. "Jack" Heinz II. In 1989, Sheikh Khalifa bin Sultan Al Nahyan, bought it for £18 million from Mercedes-Benz heir Mick Flick. His father and Ruler Sheikh Zayed had bought Tittenhurst Park, another listed Berkshire property, the year before his purchase of Ascot Place. And also William Lidderdale, Governor of the Bank of England, and Sir Harry Livesey.
In 2009, Bracknell Forest Borough Council approved a scheme to build a 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) high, 4 miles (6.4 km) long brick wall around the entire estate's perimeter, at an estimated cost of £2.2million.
