Magna Carta History:
Magna Carta House was built by George Simon Harcourt in 1834 to commemorate the sealing of Magna Carta.

Now known as Magna Carta Island, this property includes the primary house and a dedicated Charter Room, specially designed to preserve the stone upon which the iconic document is thought to have received its seal.

To the front of the house, stone steps lead down to the river, where there is a mooring for a large boat or a river pleasure boat.
On the grounds is a tree planted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1974 to mark her visit to this site during her royal progress, or official tour of the country, from nearby Windsor.

Location:
Staines-upon-Thames is a market town in northwest Surrey, England, around 17 miles west of central London. It is in the Borough of Spelthorne, at the confluence of the River Thames and Colne. Historically part of Middlesex, the town was transferred to Surrey in 1965. The property is situated at the end of a quiet street lined with large, old trees, and it's nestled within a neighbourhood that features only a handful of residential estates, providing a tranquil and secluded setting. The estate lies within 5 min drive to M25, providing great links to Central London and M3/M4 motorways.
