The 43,000 square foot private mansion is one of England's great stately homes, and was mentioned in the Domesday Book.

It's currently up for sale with a guide price of £10 million, but if you're thinking of expressing an interest, you need to have a strong stomach - it's said to be one of the most haunted country houses in England.

Bramshill is quite literally fit for a king and queen; during World War II, it was the residence of exiled King Michael and Queen Anne of Romania.

The estate was sold to Henry VIII, and has also been home to King James and Charles I in the early 17th century.

The mansion was built in the early 17th century by the 11th Baron Zouche of Harringworth and is influenced by Italian Renaissance design.

The estate was used as the National Police College from 1960, and also housed the European Police College until it moved to Budapest in 2014.

The Home Office sold the house and estate in 2014.

The estate is currently being offered for sale with planning consent to "restore it to its former glory", with plans set to add a cinema, gym and wine cellar.

The sprawling grounds even feature its own resident herd of fallow deer.
