The estate dates to 1327 and is linked to the marriage of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. There are 23 apartments and eight mews houses with facilities worthy of royalty: a pavilion restaurant, a cocktail and coffee bar, a spa and fitness centre, and a croquet lawn. The grand staircase, in the centre of the residents’ lounge, is a nod to its stately origins and leads to a warren of apartments. £595,000 for a one-bedroom flat. Elysian Residences, 0808 189 8657
