This early sixteenth century house, The Old Rectory in Wimbledon has come on to the market at a mere £26 million. 

It was built by the church and requisitioned in 1536 to the crown. Henryy VIII stayed there when taken ill on a tour of his Surrey palaces in 1546 – when married to Katherine Parr who may well have been with him – he couldn't get up the stairs and a bed had to be built for him in the great hall. It eventually passed on to Sir William Cecil (Lord Burghley) Queen Elizabeth's foremost advisor.

I'm going to have to start saving up...
