George and Amal, who share two children, purchased the Grade II-listed mansion for $13 million in September 2014, only a few weeks after their Venetian wedding.
After a year and a half of extensive renovations, which reportedly cost the couple a total of over $25 million, they transformed the 17th-century mansion into a modern, luxurious family home.

George reportedly told the builders, “What Amal wants, Amal gets.” Nestled on a four-acre Thames island, the property, once imposing, was reimagined into a serene family haven, reflecting a blend of modern sophistication and romantic tranquility.
The no-expenses-spared renovation, led by a dedicated team of 20, resulted in a stunning transformation, featuring the staff quarters which include a professional kitchen, a bedroom, and an office. Amal Clooney and George also have a 12-seat private cinema in their home and a gym.

The 11,000 square foot Oxfordshire property also boasts a 60ft swimming pool, which has a shaded area, and a hot tub which are connected to the house via a walkway.
In addition, the outdoors features a garden that has pine trees, and an Astro-Turf tennis court. The lawn reportedly leads down to the river near the property where a boathouse is located.
