A former residence connected to the James Bond franchise has been listed for purchase, offering enthusiasts of the 007 series an opportunity to acquire a piece of cinematic heritage.
The Georgian property called Whitelands, situated in East Sussex, served as the long-term home for actor Desmond Llewelyn, who portrayed the character Q in the James Bond film series from 1963 until 1999.
He and his family occupied the residence for close to three decades.
The property located on North Trade Road in Battle is being marketed at a price exceeding £2 million.
The dwelling sits on approximately 1.57 acres and includes additional features such as a guest annexe, fitness facilities, and a terrace that connects to a swimming pool and pool house equipped with a sauna.
The home provides seclusion in the countryside while remaining conveniently located near the historic town of Battle.
The property showcases characteristic Georgian architecture with spacious ceilings, expansive windows, and multiple fireplaces.
The kitchen and breakfast area feature bi-fold doors that open onto the terrace and surrounding gardens.
The basement level contains a utility space, boot room, and wine storage area.
The upper level comprises the primary bedroom featuring an attached bathroom and dressing area, alongside two additional bedrooms and a shared shower facility.
Two more bedrooms with private bathrooms occupy the second floor.
The independent annexe includes a reception area, office space, fitness room, one bedroom, and an en suite shower room.
The upper level of the annexe offers a versatile open-plan space suitable as a studio or entertainment room complete with a bar.
Access to the property is provided via a private driveway, with additional accommodations including garage space, stables, and established gardens.
The outdoor terrace area leads to a swimming pool, barbecue and dining section, and a pool house featuring a sauna.
The grounds also incorporate a kitchen garden and sizable greenhouse.
The property is situated approximately one mile from the center of Battle and 2.1 miles from Battle railway station.
Local educational institutions include Battle Abbey School, Claverham Community College, and Eastbourne College.
Whitelands was previously placed on the market in 2000 for £585,000, shortly following Llewelyn’s passing in December 1999, demonstrating the significant increase in the property’s market value over time.
