James Bond–themed mansion Skyfall for sale

A James Bond–inspired mansion named 'Skyfall’ has just hit the market in the United Kingdom - an opulent 12,000-square-foot home styled with 007 sophistication in mind.

Skyfall is a truly breathtaking and unique offering to the open market, seamlessly blending opulence and style with lavish fittings.

Located in Retford, Nottinghamshire, the property has undergone a meticulous restoration by the current owners, with a ‘James Bond’ theme at its core. From driving through the gates, adorned with stag statues similar to James Bond's home in the movie SkyFall - every sense is ignited with the anticipation and excitement of what is to unfold. 

The house is a true Bond fan paradise with the following Bond highlights (not all are included in the sale):

• Property is named Skyfall, with Skyfall plaques at the gate
• Stags which appear on both entrance and exit gates
• James Bond wallpaper in the galleried landing - which is a room full of 007 memorabilia
• A leather chair in the master suite which is seen in the SPECTRE movie
• Metal railings around the bay windows at front of the house are a direct replica of James Bonds apartment in the SPECTRE movie
• Sculptures to the front of the property are in the shape of the opening credits from the movies
• The topiary box hedging mirrors the sculpture.
• Steering wheels and Aston enamel Wing badges off of some of the original Bond movie cars
• Sir Roger Moore’s Goldplated Seiko Moonraker Watch

• Signed memorabilia and artifacts dating back to the Lazenby, Connery, Moore eras all the way through to the modern day Daniel Craig series, featuring many of the late 007 actors, Henchmen and Bond Girl stars and icons in their own rights

The house currently also has very rare blueprints of James Bond Aston Martin DB5 on display. These blueprints were featured in the Daily Mail.

This enviable residence has seen the highest level of attention to detail from the onset and gives an unmatched vision of what can be achieved, and the result is something that leaves you simply in awe. There are a host of people who have played their part in the design and execution of this project but of particular mention must be the extremely talented and critically acclaimed late Jamie Hempsall, who had the privilege of piecing together this truly wonderful interior masterpiece with all its theatrical splendour.

The property, offered by Fine & Country, was recognised by The Telegraph, with an article that featured ‘five fairy tale homes with fantastical features’ and showcased Skyfall for its imposing turrets. People who are local to the area have always been under the illusion of the mysterious connections to actor Rowan Atkinson (famous for Mr. Bean, secret agent Johnny English and once appeared in a Bond film Never Say Never Again), with many believing that he did once live there. 

The sprawling living accommodation extends to around 12,000 square feet in all and has been remodelled and extended providing the ideal spaces to merge family life and entertaining all year round. 

The ground floor offers an imposing entrance hall, which captures the grandeur and sets the tone for what is to come beyond. Two spacious formal reception rooms take in views over the front elevation and are jaw dropping spaces in which to host parties and events alike. 

Both the dining room and sitting room are themed to create an ambience fitting to any formal occasion. 

The heart of this home is a lavishly fitted handmade living kitchen with both orangery and snug leading off, providing a much-loved environment to gather as a family in a more relaxed setting. 

A sumptuous games room gives a further entertainment area, with space for a snooker table and fully functioning bar. There is a galleried landing area above which provides a spectacular vantage point to take in the antics below. This room certainly has the wow factor and is an extravagant setting to party the night away.

Leisure facilities are also in abundance, with a large gym being the perfect place to work out from home, as well as a luxuriously fitted bathroom which has a host of spa conveniences to hand. 

Above the gym is a potential annex area with a beautifully appointed bedroom suite. 

The staircase alone is something to behold, sweeping elegantly to the first floor, which sees five lavishly finished themed bedroom suites. 

The principal bedroom exudes a level or pure class and sophistication, and benefits from beautiful views over the front grounds and boasts both an en-suite and regal dressing room.

The beautifully landscaped grounds have been well conceived and provide a tranquil oasis from the outside world with established trees flanking the boundaries. A new addition of a ‘carriage’ driveway immediately adds to the grandeur upon arrival and leads to the exquisitely designed gardens, seeing mature planting and manicured lawns. 

A bespoke sculpture and themed boxed hedging give a direct nod to the opening credits of the James Bond films, again adding to the overall drama of what is on offer at Skyfall.

The rear gardens provide a number of seating areas ideal for al fresco dining during the long summer evenings and are encompassed by a further array of vibrant planting to delight the senses. 

A Wimbledon-worthy tennis court, emulating the centre court experience, is the perfect addition to this package, along with an in-keeping adjacent pavilion. Currently on display in the house are grass cuttings and balls from the actual Wimbledon Centre Court.

Appealing to the discerning car collector is a detached triple garage which is equally as well decorated as the house some may say, with living accommodation above, which would provide excellent annex accommodation for a dependant relative, teenage offspring or onsite member of staff.

Skyfall is on the market for offers in excess of £2,950,000.
