The sprawling Buckinghamshire estate that served as a private sanctuary for the legendary broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan and his family has been unveiled to the public, offering a rare glimpse into the life of the radio icon away from the microphone.
'Spoon's End', a magnificent six-bedroom mansion nestled in the picturesque village of Taplow, is now on the market for a guide price of £2.3 million, inviting a new chapter for the property that was filled with laughter and love for decades.
A Home Filled With History
For over 40 years, the Wogan family called this stunning property home. Purchased for a modest £38,000 in the 1970s, the house witnessed the raising of their children and became the heart of their family life. Sir Terry himself was a constant, familiar presence in the local village, known for his warmth and approachability.
The property boasts an impressive array of features, including a grand reception hall, a spacious 30ft drawing room perfect for entertaining, and a bespoke Mark Wilkinson kitchen—a favourite haunt of the celebrated broadcaster. The master suite provides a tranquil retreat, complete with a luxurious en-suite bathroom and stunning views over the meticulously maintained gardens.
The Grounds of a Legend
The nearly one-acre plot is a testament to serene English country living. Newly listed photographs reveal a breathtaking outdoor space featuring a pristine swimming pool, a charming summer house ideal for quiet reflection, and vast, manicured lawns surrounded by mature trees that ensure complete privacy.
It's not difficult to imagine Sir Terry enjoying a peaceful afternoon here, far from the hustle of the BBC's studios at Broadcasting House.
A Bittersweet Farewell
The decision to sell Spoon's End marks the end of a significant era for the Wogan family. Sir Terry's widow, Lady Helen Wogan, has lived there since the beloved presenter's passing from cancer in 2016. The move to sell the family seat signifies a poignant step forward, ensuring the home that holds so many cherished memories will now create a legacy for another family.
For fans of the late, great broadcaster, this is a unique opportunity to own a piece of British broadcasting history—the very walls that echoed the voice and warmth of a national treasure.
