Friar Park, an elegant Victorian estate in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, became their new home. It contained 120 rooms, as well as a ballroom and a library, as well as towers and parapets. The Harrisons paid PS140,000 for the neo-gothic home in January 1970. At that time, it was the most expensive house in Britain. They spent more on improvements to the property than its market value at auction. These include new kitchens and bathrooms, refurnishing, and redecorating in English country style. George also had several statues and pieces of art installed around the house. The Harrisons were happy living in Friar Park, but it wasn't long before they wanted more space. In 1973, they hired British architect John Madin to design them a new home nearby. The couple moved into this new property in 1976, when George Harrison was forty years old. They called it Tittenhurst Park after the former name of the village where Friar Park is located. Tittenhurst Park has eighty-nine rooms over three floors. There's a music room with acoustic tiles designed by Harrison, a cinema, a game room, a sculpture garden, a tennis court, and a swimming pool. The house was sold for GBP 8 million (USD 12.5 million) in 2003. After accounting for fees and expenses, the Harrisons received approximately GBP 4.5 million (USD 7.3 million).
