Just when Li Feng put down his mind and accompanied the United States to the United Kingdom, Li Feng saw the news about Diana in the media reports, and sure enough, Diana, accompanied by her father and younger brother two generations of Earl Spencer, attended a press conference with Prince Charles, which shocked the whole of Britain and even Europe.

At the press conference, Diana announced her resignation from the title of 'Princess of Wales', saying that although she and Prince Charles also had good memories, but in the end the marriage broke down, like ordinary people, maybe both parties were at fault, and now there are only good memories and blessings for each other.

expressed his blessings to both sides, hoped that the people would continue to support the royal family, etc., and then said that since becoming the princess, he has lived for others, and now he is also middle-aged (61 years old, now he is 36 years old), and he hopes to live a good life for himself and live an ordinary life in the future.

Including resigning from various things, only retaining honorary titles, and even declaring that he was going to enter school to study hard and lay the foundation for his future life and career, it can be said that he has done enough gestures, and Li Feng is also happy from the heart.

Obviously, his efforts have borne fruit, if this is the case, there will still be a car accident or something in the future, then it can really only be blamed on God, Li Feng thought to himself.

When Li Feng returned to London with Zeta Jones and a group of security personnel who followed him from the beautiful scenery of castles and fields all over England, he unexpectedly received a banquet from Prince Charles.

……

Yes, Li Feng, who originally wanted to leave, was persuaded by Zeta Jones to prepare to visit the United Kingdom, especially those country castles, Li Feng had heard of them in his previous life, so this time it can be said that he wandered around England and had a good look at those castles.

To say that the manor castles in Britain are really countless, different sizes, this time Li Feng really saw a lot, for the British castles, Li Feng should not hear too much, such as Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Churchill Manor, etc., are all famous.

This time, Li Feng has just returned from a visit to the Wentworth-Woodhouse Mansion, which is known as the 'largest private residence in the UK', and he was really shocked when he saw this mansion, it was too big. It's an exaggeration to say it's the largest private residence, but it's definitely one of the largest.

Recently, Li Feng has also visited a lot of luxury castles and mansions, and when he saw this mansion manor, Li Feng still felt that he was a 'countryman', which was really spectacular.

I have to say that although there are also some manor mansions in the United States, such as Rockefeller Manor, Hearst Castle or something, they are also very beautiful and magnificent.

But if you want to really see the castle manor, you still have to go to Europe, whether it is France, Germany or the United Kingdom, such a manor and castle is the essence of the manor and castle architecture in human history.

The mansion he saw this time, known as 'the largest private mansion in the UK', Li Feng was also an eye-opener. Not to mention anything else, just the 2.5-acre private mansion with the main building made Li Feng stunned, and he was really a little surprised.

Li Feng currently has a lot of mansions, whether it is Beverly's century manor that has always been called 'Beverly real estate transaction records' or private properties in various places, such as the courtyard buildings in Beijing, the mansions on Kensington Garden Street in London, especially the courtyard houses in the background city, which also cover an area of nearly 10,000 square meters (including gardens, gardens, etc.), but for a pure private mansion, it is too small in comparison.

……

The mansion dates back to the 17th century and was located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, where it first belonged to the Marquess of Stratford. Unfortunately, the Marquis, who belonged to the Wentworth family, was short-lived, and was eventually beheaded because of the failure of his political investment.

Later, it passed to another member of the Wentworth family - the first Marquess of Rockingham, the Marquess of Rockingham - the Wentworth family was a well-known aristocratic family in Britain at that time, and the second Marquess of Rockingham was elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom twice.

Originally, the mansion was still in the hands of the Wensworth family, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and the second marquis had no male descendants, and was later inherited by his grandson - the family of the Earl of Fitzwilliam (the marriage of the nobles, the daughter of the Wentworth family married to the earl of the Fitzwilliam).

Both the Wentworth family and the Fitzwilliam family were among the largest landowners in England at the time, and the top families.

The mansion was built by the original Marquess of Stratford, and was expanded by two generations of the Marquess of Rockingham, in the Baroque style in the east wing and later in the west wing.

In particular, the mansion building in the west wing is 606 feet long, 185 meters long, and the entire mansion has more than 200 rooms, and the construction area alone reaches an incredible 2.5 acres.

When completed, the east wing of the façade of the mansion became the first behemoth in Europe, wider than Buckingham Palace, the Chadsworth mansion, the Burennan Palace, and even the most splendid palace in France, Versailles.

……

The whole mansion is divided into three parts according to the hierarchy, the center is naturally the mansion itself, the mansion itself is surrounded by 180 acres of luxurious royal private gardens supporting the mansion, and the outermost is 15,000 acres of country land, mountains and forests.

Unfortunately, the family was not angry, and after the Second World War, the family of Earl Fitzwilliam was only passed to the 10th earl, and after the death of the last earl in 1979, due to the lack of direct descendants, the earldom naturally disappeared, and the mansion eventually became owned by the family trust. Naturally, the holders of the family trust are collateral members of the Fitzwilliam family.

The mansion and its surrounding gardens were sold to a real estate developer in 1989, but unfortunately the real estate developer was also unlucky.

In the late 80's and early 90's, the property industry was at a low point in the UK and around the world, and as a result, the developer went bankrupt and is now in the hands of a local bank.

What Li Feng didn't know was that two years later, the mansion and the surrounding gardens were bought by a local architect for only 1.5 million pounds, mainly because the mansion was in disrepair and leaky, and no one wanted it at all.

If you buy it, just renovating and renovating this mansion is not something that ordinary rich people can afford, it is too big.

Later, the architect had no choice, after all, the architect was just an ordinary wealthy class, and if he wanted to renovate the mansion with his own personal strength, it would only be a dream, and in the end he could only hope that the British government and the local government would take the money to renovate the mansion.

……

Until Li Feng's rebirth in his previous life, although various celebrities and dignitaries, including Prince William of the United Kingdom, proposed to renovate the mansion, and then it could be opened to the outside world and receive tourists.

But John Bull's government office efficiency is actually very low (definitely not much faster than our Celestial Empire, or even slower), according to the media's predictions, this mansion will not be on the market for decades.

As for the former owners of the mansion, the Fitzwilliam family and its members, the family still holds 15,000 acres of land around the periphery of the mansion, as well as many other real estate resources, and lives a leisurely and large landowner life in the countryside. Although it can't be rich, it can ensure that the family inheritance continues.

However, the family has auctioned the family's precious collections, cultural relics and antiques twice during the 48 years and 86 years. It can also be seen from here that the Fitzwilliam family is definitely in decline, otherwise they would not have taken out the family's private collection and sold it.

Recently, I heard that it is said that the family may have to take out some of the family collections for auction recently, and if the time is right, Li Feng wants to join in the fun.

After all, such an ancient family collection is definitely worth buying by Li Feng. If you can find a few superb cultural relics or something, it will definitely make a lot of money. However, such auctions can only be participated in after being invited, and Li Feng has a plan in his heart to see if there is a suitable opportunity.

……

Okay, why do you say that Li Feng is so clear about the situation of this mansion, it's not that Li Feng is a little moved again, just the name of the largest private mansion in the UK, Li Feng is a little moved.

Therefore, after a brief understanding of the situation through the first guided tour, Adam in London was contacted directly, and then asked him to collect the details of the mansion, which gave him a detailed understanding.

Thinking about the huge mansion with a construction area of 2.5 acres alone, every time he thinks of a spectacular mansion, Li Feng has an inexplicable excitement, well, Li Feng has liked particularly big things all his life.

For example, although there are some large family estates in the United Kingdom, they are either in the hands of those old aristocratic families, or the former families have gone bankrupt, and most of them have become national assets and have begun to open to the outside world after repairs, and there are actually very few that can be truly circulated in the market.

What's more, according to Li Feng Adam, after sending someone to understand the situation, he knew that the price was still very cheap.

This time, Li Feng's addiction to buying luxury houses has been committed again. The only regret is that the mansion is in South Yorkshire, not in the countryside near London, which is a bit of a pity.

……

At the same time, Li Feng also thought about asking Adam to collect the kind of noble manor castle with inheritance significance in Britain or something, if there was a good one, maybe he could also invest and operate it.
