Braziers Park was built 1799 for Rear Admiral Isaac Manley on the site of a former Jacobean farm house. Novelist Ian Fleming's father bought it in 1906 where his brother Peter also lived. He sold the house in 1911 to Sir Ernest Moon and upon his death in 1930, his widow Lady Emma Moon owned the property.
In the 1930s it became home to an assortment of freethinkers, utopians, intellectuals, and naturists.
It also appears in Midsomer Murders, Market for Murder and Second Sight. Also seen in the TV serial, An Unsuitable Job For A Woman (1997).
The design was by Daniel Harris in the style of Strawberry Hill Gothic, named after Horace Walpole's house design in Twickenham. The communal college it is today was founded in 1950 whence they purchased the property and its estate.
