On the market: Mary Berry ‘s former home in Buckinghamshire has been put on the market for a whopping \u00a33.5M<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Swanky:\u00a0The former GBBO judge, 88, downsized from the lavish six-bedroom property after living there with her family for over 30 years<\/p>\n
According to Lucy, Mary would often call round when she was visiting the village and her old haunts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Telling the publication: ‘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’.<\/p>\n
Mary reportedly opted to ‘downsize’ in 2017 and moved with husband\u00a0Paul\u00a0 Hunnings to a \u00a32.6M property due to it being ‘closer to Waitrose’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The new sprawling four bedroom property in Henley comes complete with a separate cottage, double garage with gym, tennis court and an indoor pool boasting a swim-up bar and giant palm tree mural.<\/p>\n
Costing \u00a32.6 million – \u00a3400,000 less than the original asking price – the move also ensures the star and her husband of 57 years, will be able to enjoy their twilight years in comfort.<\/p>\n
Crucially, however, the new pad boasts one other essential feature: it is a mere eight minutes from the nearest Waitrose.<\/p>\n
A source told MailOnline at the time: ‘She is really excited about being closer to a Waitrose, and has already worked out she is only an eight-minute walk away.<\/p>\n
‘They have got builders in at the moment and are having lots of work done, and are hoping to move in around Christmas.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Huge:\u00a0Unsurprisingly the grade II listed house features a large open plan kitchen with four-oven Aga, walk in fridge and even a second prep kitchen perfect for any baker<\/p>\n

Big shoes to fill:\u00a0With Lucy Patten who purchased the property after the beloved TV chef saying: ‘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.’ (Mary pictured in the home)<\/p>\n
Earlier this year\u00a0James Martin revealed that he once took Dame Mary\u00a0on a six-hour night out to a superclub in Ibiza.<\/p>\n
The TV chef, 50, made the admission on an episode of This Morning to surprised Holly Willoughby and Dermot O’Leary.<\/p>\n
He recalled that the\u00a0 baking legend enjoyed the night at famed club Pacha and even had a boogie.<\/p>\n
Holly asked James: ‘I hear you’ve got a bit of a story about Ibiza?’<\/p>\n
He replied: ‘It’s a claim to fame! I took Mary Berry for a six-hour night out in Pasha.’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Posh:\u00a0The home also features Juliet balcony’s to overlook the stunning grounds not to mention the separate two-bedroom cottage<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Popping in:\u00a0According to Lucy, Mary would often call round when she was visiting the village and her old haunts<\/p>\n
A gobsmacked Holly responded: ‘Are you kidding me? Did she enjoy it?’<\/p>\n
James nodded, saying: ‘She did – she led me astray. She even hit the dancefloor.’<\/p>\n
Holly struggled to wrap her head around the wild tale and said: ‘I’ve just got this image of Mary Berry in a bikini and a whistle.’<\/p>\n
Mary herself has opened up about her experiences letting it loose at the iconic party venue in the past.<\/p>\n

Shocking!\u00a0Earlier this year James Martin revealed that he once took Dame Mary on a six-hour night out to a superclub in Ibiza<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Incredible:\u00a0He recalled that the baking legend enjoyed the night at famed club Pacha and even had a boogie\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking to Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett\u2019s Dish podcast, she recalled one visit, saying: ‘I can remember thinking this is terribly exciting, and I can remember going up the steps into Pacha where somebody came forward and stamped you.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I\u2019d never been stamped before, I thought, will it ever come off? It was like a rabbit warren. It was narrow and there were lots of floors and lots of paths, and everybody was drinking and smoking.<\/p>\n
‘It suddenly struck me that if there was a fire, would we ever get out? But even so – it was good fun.’<\/p>\n
