Mystery Solved! Pippa Middleton and James Matthews have purchased Sir Terence Conran's previous estate in Berkshire: Barton Court.
Tumblr media
Reports about the Princess of Wales' sister Pippa's new estate in Berkshire have been quite vague, but today I finally found the planning permits.
The Matthews paid £15 million for Barton Court, located in Kintbury, Hungerford, Berkshire.
"Barton Court was built in 1772 for Admiral Lord Dundas: a typical, red-brick, early Georgian house of five bays with a projecting central open-pedimented entrance front, enhanced by round-headed windows in the upper storeys."

The top yellow star in the right part of the above map is the estate where Michael and Carol Middleton live in Bucklebury, and the solid red dot on the left is the location of James and Pippa Matthews' new estate. Close enough for a short car drive to visit, but far enough apart to allow each family some private time.
The planning permit request is for "Relocation of an outdoor swimming pool and construction of a tennis court within the walled garden, and conversion of a potting shed to associated changing room and plant room."
Below is the celebrated walled garden that will be replaced with tennis courts and possibly a very large swimming pool:

Sir Terence Conran was a famous British designer who passed away in September 2020. He founded the Habitat and Conran shops. He was also renowned for designing restaurants, office buildings and stores. Conran ran several restaurants and wrote more than 50 books about design.

House and Garden UK did a nice feature on the property with many color photos taken by Princess Margaret's ex-husband, if you're curious about the interior of Pippa's new home.
From the article: "In earlier days a stone-flagged hallway ran from the door to the stairway between the enclosing walls of adjacent rooms. These rooms have now been gutted to provide a combined hall and living room of vast area: over a hundred feet in length." Looks like the original tile is still in place.
Tumblr media
Apparently, some of the family of Sir Terence Conran was very upset that his estate was sold, as it was said to have been his dream for the estate to remain in the family.
"Both the house and the estate, according to one visitor, were to be 'overseen by the Conran family'. But no longer: I can reveal that the house has been sold for £15 million, despite Conran's vision, which included selling fruit and vegetables from greenhouses and a massive walled garden.
Members of the family appear to be in the dark about quite why the sale has gone ahead. One tells me that it is the executors of Conran's will who are selling the property, not his widow, Lady Conran.
The interior designer Vicki Davis married Sir Terence in 2000 at Chelsea Town Hall. His children — Sebastian and Jasper by his second wife, Superwoman author Shirley Conran, and Tom, Sophie and Ned by his third, cookery writer Caroline Herbert — only learned of it later.
That was no accident: Conran's children, it was playfully said, needed an appointment to see him.
The executors of his will decline to comment. But I can disclose that Vicki has already left the house and a new family has moved in."
Little did we know in June 2022 that it was Pippa Middleton and her family who bought the estate!
But here is another article interviewing Conran's widow, Vicki. She felt the house was too much for one person to maintain, and that none of his many children would want the upkeep. Conran apparently did not die of Covid either. It's a good article, detailing his vast collections and giving you a better idea of what he was like. After living there 50 years, Conran's widow was given 8 weeks to pack up everything and move out by the new owners...
Here is the planning application map showing the property outline:
Tumblr media
Interestingly, the large buildings to the left of Barton Court are actually a very large custom furniture workshop and retail store. The owner, Sean Sutcliffe, "met Terence Conran and a firm friendship was made over a shared interest in making, wood, design and sustainability. They founded Benchmark together and our workshop and showroom are situated in the grounds of Terence’s country home."
Tumblr media
That should prove very interesting for Pippa and family - perhaps those who are royal watchers might plan to do some furniture shopping in the near future! I'm sure, however, that the Matthews family will have plans in place to secure the perimeter of their new estate - or perhaps Mr. Matthews will just buy Benchmark Furniture outright and have its premises moved. Pretty sure he can afford it, since they recently sold their Chelsea mansion for £22.5 million, £5.5 million more than he paid for it.

Remember… fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There's no how-to road map to style. It's about self expression and, above all, attitude. — Iris Apfel

For days, prosecutors say, Anh Chiem, lay in wait for the Toronto litigation lawyer she blamed for all her legal and financial troubles. “This is a case about money … and murder,” Crown attorney Corrie Langdon told the jury.
Chiem, 64, is on trial for the hit-and-run death of Scott Rosen in an underground parking garage as he left work on Dec. 18, 2020. A white U-Haul pickup truck was captured on surveillance video accelerating quickly toward the 52-year-old father of two. After Rosen was struck and fell to the ground, the white pickup truck can be seen reversing and hitting him again before taking off.
Rosen died of catastrophic blunt force trauma at the scene. “The damaged white U-Haul pickup truck was located approximately 90 minutes later with Scott Rosen’s DNA on the front bumper,” Langdon said. “It had been rented by Anh Chiem.”
The Crown told the 13-member jury that they’ll hear Chiem rented the same truck Dec. 15, 16, and 17 from a U-Haul rental agency on Dundas St. W. with witnesses seeing her sitting in the vehicle for hours across the street from the underground lot.
The with grey has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. She listened to the proceeding through a Vietnamese across the courtroom partner of his sons sat in the front row. For years, the court heard, Chiem and her mother Chau were embroiled in litigation with Chiem’s ex-son-in-law, Peter Voong, over a piece of property severed for development — 28 Elder Ave. in Etobicoke. Rosen represented Voong, who claimed she reneged on their oral agreement to sell the house he built on the land and share the proceeds.
In 2019, a judge refused a motion by the Chiems to dismiss the lawsuit and ruled that a certificate of pending litigation should remain on the property. They were ordered to pay $37,000 in Voong’s legal costs and were denied an appeal in June 2019 with a further $3,500 in pay. Chiem owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in other debts, the jury was told, and Rosen was also involved in representing a client trying to prevent her from declaring bankruptcy.
Chiem filed two unsuccessful complaints with the Law Society of Ontario against Rosen on Oct. 22, 2019, claiming the lawyer “slandered” her and interfered in her personal bankruptcy. She wanted sanctions, perhaps even his license to practice, taken away. After that investigation was closed without any disciplinary action, she filed another complaint on Oct. 31, 2020, accusing Rosen of “lawyer fraud and extortion.”
On Dec. 1, 2020, the LSO investigator advised Chiem that he’d closed this investigation as well. She responded, the jury heard, by telling him she was “totally disgusted” and “no wonder no one trusts the justice system.” Two weeks later, Langdon said, Chiem went to a U-Haul rental agency run out of Dignity Auto Repair and asked for a truck that would fit an underground garage.
Just before 5 p.m. on Dec. 15, 2020, Toronto Police Const. Pilar Johnson was responding to a vice-principals call about a suspicious white U-Haul pickup truck idling outside Eglinton Junior Public School at 223 Eglinton Ave. E. with its rear license plate covered. She told Crown attorney Bev Richards that she came up beside the rental truck partner and told the driver to pull over. The driver, Johnson said, was short, wearing a dark parka, toque, and face mask, and appeared “agitated” when asked about the white duct tape covering the Arizona plate. The name on her license? “Anh Chiem,” the officer replied.
In a video shown to the jury, Chiem could be heard arguing as she was issued a ticket, insisting she hadn’t concealed the plate and suggesting it might have been done by the person who complained to the police. “Do you see Ms. Chiem here today?” Richards asked.
“I do, right there,” Johnson said, pointing to the woman sitting between her two lawyers. The trial continues.
