Fancy living like 007? Well now you can – as a luxury home inspired by the cinematic world of James Bond has just hit the market, giving fans a licence to thrill – for just under £3 million (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
The property, named ‘Skyfall’ – after the film (itself named for Bond’s childhood home) – is a sprawling six-bedroom mansion that’s part film set, part museum and entirely designed for the ultimate 007 devotee (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
Every corner of the house nods to the famous fictional superspy, with a collection of memorabilia worth hundreds of thousands of pounds proudly on display (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
At the front gates, two giant Skyfall stag sculptures stand guard like silent sentinels, setting the tone before visitors even reach the front door (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
Inside, almost every wall tells a story, with striking portraits capturing classic Bond scenes from across six decades of cinematic espionage (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)

The main bedroom suite continues the theme, complete with props from the movies including M’s chair and a leather seat featured in the film Spectre (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
The owner’s collection reads like a Bond archive, from stunt jackets used in Quantum of Solace and Skyfall to steering wheels and wing badges from screen-used Aston Martins (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
And naturally, no secret agent would be complete without a sleek car. The seller owns a beautiful Aston Martin DBS, just like the one Blofeld’s nemesis is so fond of driving about and flipping over (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
The collection of memorabilia even stretches back to the days of Sean Connery and George Lazenby, covering every Bond era, right through to Daniel Craig’s modern, brooding take on the role (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
But this isn’t just a tribute to the silver screen – it’s also a home packed with luxury extras for those who prefer their home shaken, not stirred (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
Among its many highlights are tennis courts complete with grass cuttings and balls from Wimbledon Centre Court, a full gym and a bar (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
Oh, and a snooker room. While we’ve never seen 007 attempt a 147, we can imagine he’s a fan of cue sports. The house is now being offered by Fine and Country, with an asking price of offers above £2,950,000 – pocket change for a lair-based supervillain (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
According to the agents, the home stands out as ‘one of the most impressive, if not the most impressive homes to come to the open market in recent times’ (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
‘Skyfall is a truly breath taking and completely unique offering to the open market, seamlessly blending opulence and style with lavish fittings to create what we believe to be one of the area’s most exclusive and well recognised family homes’ (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
‘The property has undergone an extremely meticulous restoration by the current owners, with a “James Bond” theme at its core’ (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
‘From driving through the gates every sense is ignited with the anticipation and excitement of what is to unfold’ (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
The centrepiece of the house is its handmade living kitchen – described by the agents as ‘lavishly fitted’ and opening into a relaxed orangery and snug (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
Step through the entrance and you’ll find a grand hallway leading to two formal reception rooms, a sitting room and an elegant dining space fit for a secret supper (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
From there, a sweeping staircase curves up to the first floor, where guests discover five uniquely themed bedroom suites designed with a cinematic flair. ‘The staircase alone is something to behold, sweeping elegantly to the first floor, which sees five lavishly finished themed bedroom suites’ (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
Every space has been carefully crafted, combining indulgent comfort with subtle film references for the keen-eyed Bond aficionado (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
‘The property gives an unparalleled level of timeless excellence and must be viewed to appreciate the intricate design and detailing within every single corner’ (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
Outside, manicured lawns and landscaped gardens create a calm retreat – more peaceful countryside than dangerous covert mission (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
‘The beautifully landscaped grounds have been well conceived and provide a tranquil oasis from the outside world with established trees flanking the boundaries’ (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
Garden sculptures continue the homage, including bespoke pieces and themed hedging that evoke a sense of all things Ian Fleming (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
‘A bespoke sculpture and themed boxed hedging give a direct nod to the opening credits of the James Bond films, again adding to the overall drama of what is on offer at Skyfall’ (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
The result is a one-of-a-kind home that blends fantasy with real-life luxury, offering the chance to live like Britain’s most famous spy (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
As the estate agents might say, the house is very much themed around Bond – James Bond. And this house is very much for your eyes only. But only if you part with a cool £3m for it… (Picture: Fine and Country / SWNS)
