It took one walk through the enchanting woodlands of Magna Carta Park, with their commanding views over the beautiful countryside towards Windsor Castle, for me to know that we could create something truly special in these beautiful grounds. It was an ambitious vision, and one that took ten years of meticulous planning, but we are delighted to open this exclusive new address to residents. Magna Carta Park is more than just a location; it is a way of life. Royalton Residences has over ten years of experience in luxury developments and concierge services, and we provide our owners with a service that is individually tailored to their specific needs and lifestyle. Our bespoke concierge service will greet residents and their guests upon arrival on the estate, providing assistance for every occasion, from airport transfers and parcel collection, to window cleaning and gardening. The level of service and amenities at Magna Carta Park is unrivalled, offering residents everything they need to enjoy life on this unique private estate. Whether it is a morning swim in the indoor pool, a walk through the woodlands with man’s best friend, or a meal with friends in the restaurant, every need has been carefully considered, designed and catered for. It is an exciting new chapter in the life of this historic setting, and I and the team at Royalton are incredibly proud of what we have achieved for you, the future custodians of Magna Carta Park.

Our
VISION A P R I V AT E E S TAT E F O R T H E 2 1 ST C E N T U R Y 30 MINUTES FROM LONDON OVER 800 YEARS OF HISTORY
A new luxury development in the heart of Surrey, Magna Carta Park brings private estate living into the 21st century. Just 30 minutes from London, and close to Englefield Green, Ascot, Sunningdale and Windsor, it offers urban conveniences from the comfort of your own private rural escape. A collection of beautifully designed homes are nestled within 57 acres of woodland, gardens and greenery, with access to extensive amenities, including a tennis club, bespoke concierge, 24-hour security, spa, restaurant and indoor swimming pool. Magna Carta Park is a setting like no other. Over 800 years ago, King John and the rebel Barons signed the Magna Carta in these grounds, laying the foundations for their vision of the future. Today, our vision is to transform this spectacular setting into a private luxury estate that represents the finest in contemporary country living.

57 ACRES OF WOODLAND, GARDENS, GLADES AND GROUNDS
A morning run as the sun starts to rise over views of Windsor; a weekend of childhood imagination and adventure amongst the ancient branches; a meditative afternoon stroll with man’s best friend, acres of enclosed parkland waiting for four legs to find it. Making time to relax is easy with 57 acres of parkland on your doorstep. Walking trails wind their way through extensive woodlands and across the estate, beckoning you to lose yourself amid the leaves - it won’t be long before you know it as well as, well, your own backyard.

GENERATIONS in the
MAKING A H I S TO R Y T H AT S T R E TC H E S BEYOND BOOKS
Before time was even a concept, the first inhabitants of this estate were making their mark on the landscape. The park and surrounding countryside are home to some of England’s most prized ancient trees, including a spectacular Turkey Oak, and the famous Ankerwycke Yew in the meadows of Runnymede. At 2,500 years old, the Ankerwycke Yew is the National Trust’s oldest tree. Centuries have passed by beneath its branches; it is here that King John supposedly laid pen to paper for the Magna Carta, and here where Henry VIII may have met Anne Boleyn, changing the face of the British monarchy forever. Now, these woodlands watch over a new generation of inhabitants, creating their own Magna Carta Park legacy.

“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.� WILLIAM BLAKE

A LEGACY OF INNOVATION A N E W D E V E L O P M E N T B U I LT O N T H E F O U N DAT I O N S O F H I S TO R Y
This is a setting rich in stories, a new development with roots in some of the most momentous occasions in British history. Our tale begins with a signature. On 15th June 1215, in Runnymede, King John agreed to the Magna Carta. A document drawn up by the Archbishop of Canterbury to foster peace between the allpowerful king and a group of rebel barons, the charter eventually became the foundation of British constitutional law. The area became a private home in the 16th century, when Henry VIII granted it to Andrew, Lord Windsor, and remained as such until the 20th century - aside from a brief stint as the Royal Indian Engineering College, where engineers from across the Empire were trained in the construction of roads, canals and other civil engineering projects. Across the estate, reminders of this illustrious past add a grandeur to the park setting: the Magna Carta monument, the Air Forces Memorial and the President Kennedy memorial acting as constant reminders of the history that is built into the foundations of the entire development.
61
Shortly after the outbreak of the second World War, the statue of Eros from Piccadilly in London was taken to Magna Carta Park for safekeeping, stored in a room that would later become known as the ‘Eros Room’. On 28th June 1947, Eros was returned to Piccadilly Circus (shown on right) in heavy rain and in the presence of several thousand spectators.
