Featuring five reception rooms, seven bedrooms, a swimming pool, tennis court and croquet lawn, Terry Wogan sure knew how to live large.
The renowned broadcaster, who was born in Limerick, called this house a home with his wife Helen Joyce before his passing in 2016. Helen passed away just last year, with their home in Buckinghamshire now hitting the market for an astonishing £3.75million (€4.3million).
Spanning a massive 6,500 square feet, the home was immaculately kept, and is beautiful both inside and out as a stunning Edwardian home that boasts stunningly manicured gardens, a tennis court, swimming pool, and croquet lawn — and has views that are just as breathtaking as the home itself.

The ground floor entrance hall is exceptionally spacious, with a large staircase, feature fireplace and double height hallway, while the main reception room — one of five, we might add — offers the versatility of being converted into a home office or downstairs bedroom. Pic: Savills
The remaining four reception rooms are a formal dining room, formal living room and family room, while the kitchen comes fully loaded with a large range of storage units, gas hob, dual cooker and breakfast island for work and food. Pic: Savills
Heading up the stairs to the first floor are the first four bedrooms, all of which are incredibly large with the master boasting built in wardrobes and a large en-suite with a bath and shower, as well as a balcony. The remaining three bedrooms on this floor are served by two family bathrooms. Pic: Savills
The second floor is a self-contained apartment/guest accommodation, and is impressive in and of itself — boasting two double bedrooms and a separate guest kitchen. Pic: Savills
As for the grounds, the home's gardens are incredibly well kept with mature hedge and shrub borders, as well as a tennis court, swimming pool and croquet lawn. The home also boasts incredible views of its surrounds, including Windsor Castle. Pic: Savills
As for its previous owners, Terry Wogan needs no introduction (but we're going to give one anyway). Born in Limerick, the presenter is best known for his time with the BBC, where his radio tenure saw him become one of the most well known and beloved broadcasters ever. He also presented the Rose of Tralee on these shores, and was the voice of the Eurovision for the UK for decades. Pic: Savills
Terry passed away in 2016 after being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, while his wife of 50 years Helen Joyce passed away last year. The couple had four children together. Pic: Savills
