‘ A family spokesman said: ‘There was an issue with trespassers at the property, who left a designated footpath, and were trespassing on private property. ‘No one was run over and there has been no contact between the family and the police. This is simply untrue.

‘ Barton Court estate is less than an hour’s drive from The Prince and Princess of Wales’ home Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. It is also close to Kate and Pippa Middleton’s parents Michael and Carole, who raised their family in Berkshire. In January, it was reported that tenants at the estate – some of whom had rented their homes for decades – had been served with eviction notices from the new owners.

‘We’ve been told we’ve got to get out, so we’ve got to get out, haven’t we?’ one disgruntled tenant said.

Sources say the couple want to turn the estate into a family property GEORGIAN GLAMOUR REVIVED FOR THE 21ST CENTURY: A HISTORY OF BARTON COURT Barton Court is the manor house of Kintbury Amesbury, named after the Wiltshire Abbey which owned it throughout the Middle Ages.

The present house was built in about 1680, for Jonathan Raymond and his wife, Anne, the daughter of Philip Jemmett, a wealthy London brewer, who had become one of Berkshire’s landed gentry only fifteen years before. He had purchased the manor from the heirs of the Darells of Littlecote Park (Wiltshire) and it was probably in the previous house that the infamous Wild Will Darell had died in 1588, before his burial in Kintbury parish church. Fortunately, the place has since been fully restored and was the home of the late Sir Terence Conran, before it was sold to Pippa Middleton and James Matthews last year.

The huge property has around 30 rooms and a massive garden, sprawling over 150 acres, leaving plenty of space for their young children, Arthur, Grace and baby Rose.

Following the purchase of the Georgian mansion, a close friend told the Mail: ‘Pippa and her family are thrilled. ‘It’s a very exciting time in their lives. They are looking forward to living closer to her parents.

’ Being close to her sister, the Princess of Wales, the children and their cousins all attend the same private school in the county, according to Mail columnist Richard Eden. The home is said to be more spectacular than any of the Royal properties in the nearby Windsor estate. One local told the Mail: ‘It’s a far more impressive property than any of those on the Windsor estate, apart from the castle.

‘ The couple is also waiting to hear about a planning application that asks to build a huge build a huge 2 ft x 19 ft swimming pool within the grounds. This would make it more than double the size of the average private pool and more like those found in leisure centres. The nearby existing potting sheds would be converted into changing rooms.

They also want to dig up the lawn and build a tennis court with an AstroTurf surface, to allow for year-round use. There are several concerns over the application, however, including that their home is built in an Area of Outstanding Beauty and has heritage interest , as it lies within the Kennet Valley, where many Middle Stone Age sites have been found. One conservation officer declared they had ‘a number of concerns’ citing the cessation of ‘horticultural use’ in favour of ‘recreational/leisure use’.

Plans for the Princess of Wales’s sister to perforate walls of the home would also result in the potential loss of the ‘historic fabric’, the officer continued, adding that if the new pool is dug it could ‘have an impact on surviving archaeological deposits’. The couple now need to submit more detailed plans about the tennis court to the council. Pippa and her husband want to expand the existing business and create a tourist hub including glamping cabins, a farm shop and a restaurant.

James Matthews and his business partners have husband also bought up Bucklebury Farm Park, a 77-acre piece of land, where the family is already running a petting zoo, café and cabin accommodation for around 30 people .

The farm was put on the market back in 2021, and the couple snapped it up quickly for £1. 5 million. The petting zoo was a favourite of Prince George’s when he was younger.

The couple now want to expand the business further, with the plans being dubbed ‘Pippa’s Playground’. The proposals, seen by the Mail, revealed the plans to create a tourist hub made of glamping cabins, a farm shop and a restaurant, hoping to create a place that offers ‘human health activities’. Plans included revamping the zoo, constructing a children’s play centre in an eco-friendly wooden barn and creating a tree plantation with retro farm vehicles painted in pastel colours.

The couple wanted the site to be decorated with lanterns. Rushing to get ahead with their plans, the couple failed to apply for planning permission to create a covered seating area. This was then brought to the attention of West Berkshire county council, leading to a year-long battle over the area.
