Whether you fancy living by an F1 track, on a private island or having a landing strip outside the front door, these unique homes offer unmatched locations and first-class amenities

Situated trackside at Silverstone, the home of British motor racing near the Northamptonshire villages of Silverstone and Whittlebury, Escapade Silverstone offers a limited number of owners pole viewing position less than 12 metres from the edge of the circuit.

Audiences watching the Formula One Grand Prix, held at Silverstone from July 31 to August 2, probably noticed the scheme’s locale, which Will Tindall, CEO of Escapade Living, says overlooks some of the most exciting corners on the F1 calendar.

As the first 15 Escapade residences go on sale, buyers will also be granted founding membership to Silverstone, giving free access to all major race events, use of the Escapade Clubhouse (even when they’re not staying), priority track access and exclusive invites to owner-only events, track days and trips.

Tindall says that, to date, for motorsports enthusiasts seeking high-end accommodation when track events are held, London has often been the only option.

“Escapade Silverstone changes that,” he said. “Designed for high-performance living, the clubhouse and facilities include state-of-the-art simulator rooms, briefing rooms, a driver-focused gym, oxygen swimming pool and sauna, restaurant, bar and private dining room.”

The residences themselves have cantilevered terraces, allowing spectators to get even closer to the racetrack. Light-filled and with high acoustic specifications, they have underfloor heating, comfort cooling and en suite bathrooms. Escapade Silverstone will provide climate-controlled car storage, allowing owners to securely store vehicles when not in use.

Residences are sold on a 125-year lease and owners will be able to use them as they wish up to a certain number of nights a year. “When an owner is not staying in their residence, it will form part of the wider accommodation available to guests at Silverstone and offer a net yield estimated at around 5-6.5 per cent net,” Tindall said.
