The mum-of-three, 39, and her investment banker husband James Matthews, 47, are the proud owners of a lavish £15million Georgian stately home in Berkshire, a 20-minute drive from her parents.
The home has a whopping 30 bedrooms and 150 acres of grounds that lead down to a river, complete with a walled garden and greenhouses, reports Daily Mail’s Eden Confidential.
There’s plenty of space for their three kids – Arthur, four; Grace, two; and one-year-old Rose to run around.
At the time of the sale in the summer of 2021, a friend of Pippa told the Daily Mail she and her family are “thrilled”.
“It’s a very exciting time in their lives. They are looking forward to living closer to her parents,” they said.
The home, bought in an off-market sale, is not far from where Pippa, Kate, and their brother James grew up in Chapel Row village.
It was completely renovated and modernised by the previous owners, according to reports.
The whole Middleton family are now neighbours as Prince William, and Kate have moved their primary residence to Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Estate.
James Middleton and his wife Alizee live on a £1.25million farm in Berkshire, and her parents currently live in lavish Bucklebury Manor.
James and Pippa sold their Chelsea pad for £22.5million, £5.5million more than James initially bought it for in 2014.
The couple, who wed in May 2017, spent £17million on their London home which spans five floors.
Despite keeping their private life closely guarded, we know the mansion had six bedrooms, a home gym, an underground cinema, lift and room for staff.
They renovated the home after buying it to add separate female and male dressing rooms off the master bedroom as well as a nursery and air conditioning throughout.
It’s no surprise that the couple has a taste for luxury houses, as Pippa’s parents, Carole, and Michael, now reside in the gorgeous £ 5 million Bucklebury Manor.
It boasts seven bedrooms, five reception rooms – including a drawing room and library – and 18 acres of land complete with a tennis court and outdoor swimming pool around the grade-II listed Georgian property.
Snaps shared from inside the house show traditional log fireplaces, a kitchen with a large wooden dining table, and a conservatory with enormous floor-to-ceiling windows.
The manor house is where the young couple chose to have their wedding reception in 2017.
However, the sprawling property wasn’t where Pippa and her siblings grew up.
Instead, their childhood was spent in the slightly more modest Oak Acre – which lacked the privacy of the new home.
The £1.5million home sits on one-and-a-half acres of land but was easily looked upon by members of the public.
It contained five-bedrooms but all other details of the property have been kept private thanks to the new owner signing a non-disclosure agreement.
