It includes Glympton House (an 18th-century country house) and has a 2,000 acres (810 ha) estate including the village of Glympton, its Norman parish church of St. Mary, 32 stone cottages and 167 acres (68 ha) of parkland.
[3] By the early part of the 18th century it had an H-shaped plan with north and south courtyards each flanked on three sides by wings of the house.
[3] George Henry Barnett, the nephew of Sir Jacob Wheate, 5th Baronet, inherited Glympton Park in 1846.
[6][7] In 1992, Glympton Park was bought for £8 million by Prince Bandar bin Sultan, then Saudi ambassador to the US, after Alan Bond went bankrupt.
Bandar spent £42m on restoration work, installing security features and a replica English pub inside the house.
