Mary Berry's former home in Buckinghamshire has been put on sale for a whopping £3.5million.
The former Bake Off host spent three decades living at the six-bedroom country property with her husband Paul Hunnings. Recently, the pair decided to downsize to a four-bedroom, reports the Mirror.
The stunning home was designed by Mike Taylor and, unsurprisingly, includes a four-oven Aga in the open-plan kitchen.

After the pair moved, the grade II listed 19th-century house became home to Lucy Patten and her family.
Speaking about the home, she said: "We lived in Penn for 15 years previously and Watercroft was always a house that appealed to us.
"Whenever we came over Mary was here, and would always produce a cake or biscuits. Working in Mary Berry’s old kitchen has been a huge privilege. It is a really good working space and the walk-in fridge is such a bonus” reports the Mirror.
According to Lucy, Mary appeared at the house every time there was an event happening in the village.
"She’ll come over and have a cup of tea. When we moved in, she hosted a party to introduce us to all of the neighbours. They are all very friendly," she said to The Times.

Previously during The Mary Berry Story, a BBC documentary about her life, Berry revealed her personal heartache and said: "It was a glorious January day and it was sort of 1 o'clock and he wasn't home.
"The doorbell rang and there was a policeman there, and immediately then I knew why. And he said, 'There's been an accident and I'm sorry to say your son is dead'."
She added: "Still, after all these years, his Bristol friends put flowers and notes at Penn church [the family lived in Penn, Buckinghamshire for over 40 years]. It’s lovely. I think he had an effect on his friends. I hope it made them drive more carefully."
