Faringdon House
Faringdon House is a Grade I listed 14,510 square feet house in Faringdon, Oxfordshire, England. It was built about 1770–1785 for the Poet Laureate Sir Henry James Pye.
It was the country home of Lord Berners, who inherited it in 1918. He moved in to Faringdon House in 1931, along with his companion, Robert Heber-Percy, nearly 30 years his junior and known as the Mad Boy. In 1942, Heber-Percy married Jennifer Ross, the only child of Sir Geoffrey Fry, 1st Baronet, and they had a daughter, Victoria, although the ménage à trois lasted only two years before Jennifer and their daughter moved to her parents home, Oare House in Wiltshire.
Lord Berners died in 1950, and Heber-Percy inherited the house.
It now belongs to the writer Sofka Zinovieff, the granddaughter of Heber-Percy., it is for sale at a price of £11.5 million.
