Holwood House, Greek Revival country house in London Borough of Bromley, England

The mansion spans 25,060 square feet across 40 acres of land, featuring seven bedrooms and views extending to Canary Wharf.

William Pitt purchased the estate in 1785 for £8,950 when he was 24 years old, later commissioning architect John Soane for expansions.

The Wilberforce Oak on the grounds marks where William Wilberforce and William Pitt discussed their plans to abolish the slave trade.

The property maintains its original features while incorporating modern amenities, including a cinema room, tennis court, and walled garden.

The estate contains remnants of an Iron Age fort known as Caesar's Camp, which William Pitt altered to create ornamental gardens.
