Whoever the lucky buyers are will get more than just a stunning summer house though, the property also is also home to a primate sanctuary.
The current owners of Murrayton House, a Grade II listed cottage dating back to 1856, are looking for a buyer who will continue their work at the Wild Futures Charity.
It is currently home to 29 monkeys, almost all of whom were rescued from the UK pet trade and are now looked after on site.
A large number of the rescued monkeys being looked after by the charity require specialist care.
The grounds of the home, covering a whopping ten acres, features a large enclosure.
Rescued monkeys are afforded mounds of space to swing and play and the grounds of the home feature several outbuildings used to provide accommodation for volunteers and staff.
The new homeowner is also afforded plenty of space with the cottage offering 5,434sq ft.
It is “in need of some improvement” according to the listing which sites dated decor and furnishings throughout the home.
The unique cottage features a massive 10 bedrooms and five bathrooms, multiple outbuildings and a long private drive with a large car park for visitors.
Sadly, due to financial constraints the sanctuary is closed for the 2025 season.
The charity said it “cannot afford to open our doors to the public” with staff focusing on monkey care.
It is hoped the new owner of the cottage will allow the monkey sanctuary to remain.
If the charity is asked to leave though, they are asking for a “reasonable delay” to allow them to find alternative accommodation for the monkeys.
A spokesperson for Wild Futures told Luxury Property News: “We want to stay where we are as we want to continue our vital work, and provide a home for life for rescued monkeys – something that we have been doing for the last 60 years.”

The charity was founded in 1964 by Len Williams the father of classical guitarist John Williams.
It was set up to act as a cooperative to care for rescued woolly monkeys.
It evolved over the years into one of the UKs leading primate welfare charities.
The Wild Futures Charity focuses on rescuing, educating and campaigning for primates.
The cottage housing the charity is currently available with Scott Parry Associates for £1.25 million.

Four-bed house listed for £400K looks perfectly normal from the outside – but it’s hiding a disgusting secret
By Owen Scott
A SEEMINGLY normal house has hit the market for £400,000 but it’s hiding a disgusting secret.
Things take a turn for the worse in the four-bed house located in Chippenham, Wiltshire, as soon as you open the door.
From the outside, the detached home is picture-perfect.
With wide windows and a surrounding garden, it’s easy to imagine life in the property.
However, everything changes when you open the door.
Throughout the corridors and the kitchen lie mountains of rubbish.
The layers of trash – which includes old posters and cardboard boxes – are so high that it is difficult to simply pass through the home.
However, things take a turn for the worse when you open the door to the bathroom.
The sink is piled high with washing and the toilet is swamped with overflowing waste.
Huge cobwebs hang between the walls and a dead plant dangles from the windowsill.
Advertised on Rightmove, the four-bed home is on sale for £395,000 – despite its shortcomings.
The house’s description states: “The property comprises a four bedroom detached house arranging over ground and first floors.
“The property requires a program of refurbishment.”
