The home was dismantled and then flown over to California to be reconstructed in the Eighties, with the separate buildings connected by an orangery spanning 5,500 square feet of living space sitting on more than an acre of land.
Boasting two bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home – now dubbed Porter House – displays many period features in keeping with its historical English roots, such as cathedral-style ceilings, antique windows and exposed beams, as well as exposed brick fireplaces.
The home has been given a modern update, however, with a gym space, full basement, a workshop, and three-car garage.
The homes grounds boasts gardens designed by landscape architect Tom Nielsen and brick terraces perfect for outdoor dining – or a wedding ceremony!

A representative for Ariana confirmed the couple had had tied the knot to PEOPLE on Monday night: ‘They got married. It was tiny and intimate – less than 20 people. The room was so happy and full of love. The couple and both families couldn’t be happier.’
Despite the scaled-down celebrations, Ariana and Dalton – a real estate agent – are said to have exchanged the traditional ‘I dos’, TMZ also reports.
A source close to the Grammy winner confirmed to the outlet that the secret ceremony took place at her California home where her neighbours include the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The source also claimed that the ceremony was ‘really just for them’ but it is unclear if it was an impulsive decision, or whether they had planned the big day.
Meanwhile another source has claimed to E! that the pair ‘always wanted an intimate ceremony,’ saying: ‘They decided to have the wedding this past weekend because their schedules are picking up and neither wanted to wait. They both agreed there was no point in waiting’.
The report claims that the ceremony was conducted in the backyard of Ariana’s home with hundreds of white and light pink florals.
‘It was beautiful but not over the top,’ the source told E!. ‘Ari wanted it to be simplistic and tasteful. All they cared about was having family there and to be able to enjoy the special moment together.’

The property no doubt went down a treat with Ariana’s new husband Dalton, who has a career in selling luxury real estate to the rich and famous.
A five-year veteran of the market, Dalton serves as the sole buyers agent for Aaron Kirman and previously served as the Director of Operations where he would run all day-to-day operations.
Dalton is also said to have helped create the diamond and platinum wedding band he presented her with.
The real estate agent worked with jeweller Jack Solow on the wedding band for the 7 rings singer, a spokesperson told E News! on Monday.
‘It’s a beautiful, tasteful platinum and diamond pave band,’ the spokesperson for the jeweller said. ‘Dalton was very happy with it.’

Speaking with the outlet last year about his work with Dalton, the jeweller said that the singer’s new spouse ‘was involved in every step of the selection process through FaceTime and Zoom’.
The real estate agent previously presented the thank u, next singer with an asymmetrical engagement ring he worked on with Solow, customised for the pop star with her pearl birthstone and a diamond shaped like an oval.
The jeweller said that Dalton ‘was very, very specific about what he wanted’ and ‘had very strong feelings about how he wanted this to look, a contemporary kind of way.
‘It was his idea to do the diamond on an angle and he said to me we had to incorporate a pearl into the finished piece.’
