The former home of the keyboard player from rock band Deep Purple is up for sale.
Musician Jon Lord lived in Burntwood Hall in Goring-on-Thames in the 1980s.
Mr Lord co-founded the legendary group, considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal, in 1968 and co-wrote many of their songs including the iconic Smoke on the Water.
Mr Lord, a cricket enthusiast, also installed a cricket pitch, pavilion and scoreboard at the front of the house, while other later additions include a gym, sauna, tennis court and swimming pool area with outdoor kitchen and pizza oven.
Mr Lord died in 2012 and Burntwood Hall has had several owners since he lived there.
The eight bedroom property is now on the market with a guide price of £8.5million with Savills in Henley.
Here's a guided tour.
