James Bond's golf course clubhouse is up for sale

An Edwardian property currently for sale on Rightmove was originally the clubhouse at Huntercombe Golf Club, where James Bond author Ian Fleming was a member

The golf course is said to be mentioned in Fleming’s novel 'Goldfinger' where Bond tells the villain that he “played off 9 at Huntercombe”

The home, in Nuffield, Henley-On-Thames, is for sale on Rightmove through Stowhill Estates for £885,000.

Rightmove’s property expert Miles Shipside said: “This elegant home exudes prestige and allure at every turn.

"It’s somewhat magical to know that one of the most famous characters in the world of British literature and film will forever be intertwined with this property.

"It’s rare to find a property on Rightmove that’s history is so tangible you can almost feel it."

Michael Joerin, managing director of Stowhill Estates, said: “For me, the living room of this property really has the wow-factor.

"Original oak flooring, Edwardian features and high ceilings create an elegant and tranquil setting.

"Light floods in through the south-facing bay window, drawing your eye to the focal point of the room – the stunning fireplace with a warming wood-burner.

"This is a fabulous room in which to relax after a long day, or to entertain friends and family.

"The current owners tell us that Christmas in this room is magical, with the fireplace decorated with garlands and room for an enormous tree under the grand staircase.”
