What it's like to work here
Made famous through Downton Abbey and Bridgerton, Basildon Park, an estate saved from almost certain demolition and lovingly revived, is one of three special places in the Thames Valley portfolio. The other two are Greys Court, a picturesque 16th-century mansion with tranquil gardens, and Nuffield Place, the beloved home of a prolific 20th-century philanthropist. Our properties, gardens, and parkland offer seasonal colour and a peaceful environment to nurture a flourishing career.
