Audley Villages has some stunning properties for sale in landmark and historic buildings. Many of Audley's villages are based around historic buildings – from Grade II listed Georgian Mansions to former schools and stately homes.

Audley Cooper's Hill, Englefield Green, Surrey

Cooper's Hill is located in the Magna Carta Park and during the war the building was the hiding place of the Statue of Eros – which was moved from Piccadilly Circus to spend some time protected in the basement of village. After this, the building was turned into a college and in May 1978 the students had a surprise appearance by Sir Elton John, after the booked band failed to turn up. So an interesting history to say the least. Formerly part of Brunel University, Cooper's Hill luxury retirement village for over 55s is located within the 66 acres of the Magna Carta Park in the village of Englefield Green, near Runnymede in Surrey. Recently opened, the luxury village comprises 128 retirement properties, the Audley Club health and fitness suite, tennis courts, putting green, restaurant and library.
