Jackie Kennedy's former home listed for sale
Known for her unmistakable fashion style and short bob hairstyle, Jackie Kennedy continues to intrigue and interest many years after her death
We know Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis as the first lady of America, the wife of President John F. Kennedy, and after his death as the wife of one of the richest people in the world, the Greek businessman Aristotle Onassis. Known for her unmistakable and striking fashion style, short bob hairstyle, and great smile, Jackie continues to intrigue and interest many years after her death. Now, for the first time since 1974, her favorite country residence, which was owned by her sister, has appeared on the market.
The magnificent Turville Grange estate, in Henley on the Thames, has a glorious history. It was once owned by Jackie Kennedy's younger sister, Princess Lee Radziwill, and later Henry Ford II of the Ford Dynasty. The country house is located on a property of 49 hectares. It has five bedrooms, five reception rooms, an elevator, and five staff bedrooms.
Other properties in this area are known as Pink Cottage and Tourville Cottage and have three bedrooms. Another building, called the White House for Jackie Kennedy, has two bedrooms, a barn, and a fence. The plot also has a swimming pool, gym, sauna, relaxation room, tennis court, Pilates room, and many bathrooms. One of the salons in the main house has a floral theme, which can be seen in other rooms on the estate. High ceilings give everything an extra sense of spaciousness.
The extravagant reception room in the main house has a marble fireplace, beautiful wooden floors, and floral notes. A large staircase to the second floor and high windows stand out. The back hall in the main house shows Tuscan pillars erected by architect Lionel Brett in the 1950s. The house also has a wardrobe with wooden floors and space for additional equipment.
The family kitchen in the main house has uniquely designed treated walls and wooden panels, with all the necessary appliances and space for a large dining table. Frequent guests at the estate were members of high society, so Princess Margaret, Sean Connery, and Peter Sellers also stayed there.
The villa also has a private pool, gym, and tennis court set among beautiful lawns and landscaped gardens. With a view of the green park from the front and the back, the property is actually ideal as a family house or a dream cottage. The house is now on the market with a price of 18.75 million pounds.
