Filmmaker Tim Burton has listed one of his most iconic residences in England for sale at $5.98 million.
Located in the historic village of Sutton Courtenay, south of Oxford, Burton’s 7-hectare property, known as Mill House, is a Grade II-listed estate with roots dating back to the 18th century.

Originally built as the home of a foreman at a water-powered paper mill, the house is now the last remaining structure from the original Sutton Mill site. According to the sale listing, the home sits beside cascading streams, mill channels, and three small islands connected by bridges—described by the broker as a “utopian idyll.”
Burton purchased the house in 2006 for £2.9 million with his then-partner, actress Helena Bonham Carter. After their split in 2014, Burton retained ownership. The mansion’s grounds include a pier, a rose garden, and several pergolas, with water lilies, wisteria, and Virginia creeper enhancing the bucolic landscape.
The 560-square-meter home spans three floors and features decorative plasterwork, sash windows, and other original Georgian-era architectural elements. The top floor houses two bedrooms described as “teen retreats,” while the main floor includes a library, formal dining room, dual living rooms, and an office with a fireplace. Overall, the residence blends classic architecture with serene, secluded views of the English countryside.
The sale comes as Tim Burton continues to expand his portfolio—both professionally and in real estate. The director is currently working on season two of the Netflix hit series “Wednesday” and released “Beetlejuice,” the long-awaited sequel to his 1988 cult classic, in September 2024 to critical acclaim. He remains widely recognized for iconic films such as “Edward Scissorhands,” “Beetlejuice,” and “Batman.” His success has contributed to an estimated net worth of $100 million.
Burton owns several properties in both the United States and the United Kingdom. A 2022 feature in Architectural Digest revealed that the filmmaker owns a home in London’s Belsize Park neighborhood and an estate in Hollywood Hills, both known for their secluded layouts and gothic-inspired interiors—reflecting Burton’s signature aesthetic.
The London home was previously shared with Helena Bonham Carter, while the Hollywood Hills residence is surrounded by lush greenery and serves as a creative retreat while Burton works on projects in Los Angeles.
Though no new acquisitions have been confirmed, the Oxfordshire listing suggests Burton may be consolidating or repositioning part of his real estate portfolio.
