David Gilmour's Former Mansion with Private Lake Is on Sale
The property, known as Aspley House, sits near the village of Wavendon in Buckinghamshire. It’s a Grade II-listed Georgian manor that oozes old-world charm with a modern twist. Gilmour owned it for over two decades, using it as a creative sanctuary and family home.
The house spans eight bedrooms, six reception rooms, and enough space to host a full orchestra—or just a very private jam session. Think high ceilings, original fireplaces, and walls that have likely absorbed the echo of “Wish You Were Here” on a rainy afternoon.
The Lake: Your Personal Meditative Zone
The private lake is the crown jewel, covering around two acres. It’s not just a pond; it’s a fully stocked, spring-fed expanse perfect for wild swimming, canoeing, or simply staring at the water while contemplating the solos of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond.”
Imagine hosting a summer barbecue where the only soundtrack is lapping water and distant birdsong. Or, if you’re feeling cheeky, you could install a floating speaker and drop the needle on The Dark Side of the Moon—but that might be sacrilege.
