Rowneybury House, dubbed “Beckingham Palace” by the British press, was their ascension to true celebrity royalty, and the $3.8 million purchase price was just the beginning—they poured an additional $3.7 million into transforming this former children’s home into a statement property. The 24-acre estate featured seven bedrooms, each with its own theme, including Brooklyn’s $24,000 fiber-optic celestial ceiling installation.
Victoria embraced “camp” aesthetics, creating spaces like a leopard-print boudoir complete with ceiling mirrors. The grounds? Tennis courts, a professional-grade football pitch, an indoor pool, a recording studio, and even a whimsical hedge maze.
The Beckhams lived here for about 15 years, and in 2014, sold the home to insurance tycoon Neil Utley for $14 million, marking the end of an era.
