Overview

  • The seven‑bedroom Edwardian property in Taplow is listed at £3.75 million and includes a pool, tennis court and views of Windsor Castle.
  • Mark Wogan said on TalkTV on Aug. 26 that the house has had zero viewings since it went on the market.
  • He attributed the slowdown to Reeves’ mooted reforms, with ideas reported such as replacing stamp duty with an annual levy or increasing council tax on high‑value homes.
  • Coverage says the sale follows the 2024 death of Lady Helen Wogan, with differing reports placing it in September or November.
  • The Mirror reports her estate was valued at about £5 million with £100,000 trusts for each of five grandchildren, and says it has asked the Chancellor’s office for comment.
