Background
History
The writers Jane Austen and A. A. Milne were frequent guests at the house. In a 2005 article Country Life described Brooklands as "[epitomising] the very best of Englishness" and that "Historically, architecturally and horticulturally, Brooklands's pedigree is faultless". In 2005 Brooklands was put up for sale with Knight Frank for £5.3 million. The estate included 29 acres of grounds with 160 yards of river frontage.
