The seven-bedroom former residence of Queen drummer Roger Taylor has gone on the market for £5million and boasts vast rooms, sprawling land, a swimming pool and stables. 

The magnificent country house is above a valley near Thursley, Surrey, and is where Taylor wrote the hit song Radio Ga Ga and lived from 1979-2003.

Millhanger enjoys incredible views from its lofty perch of its own gardens and the valley beyond. 

Millhangar, the three-storey country house is above a valley near Thursley, Surrey, and was built by architect Harold Falkner in 1907

The emptied pool, which is pictured here, is part of a spa complex along with a spa bath, a steam room and a gym 

The second-floor master suite has its own sitting room and dressing room as well as a private study. This room has dark red walls and gold wallpaper with red flowers. In the centre of the wall, there is a black fireplace with light wood mantelpiece 

The estate is set on an idyllic lake surrounded by trees. The Grade II-listed Cosford Mill used to be a water mill but now provides extra accommodation

Architect Harold Falkner, who also created about 50 of the houses around nearby town Farnham, built the house in 1907 and it retains many original features, including a grand oak staircase in the main reception hall. Although now it needs some updating.  

The house also has connections to Pink Floyd. Before Taylor owned the house, it was owned by a family called the Rutters. Their daughter, Lindy, married Pink Floyd's Nick Mason. 

The interiors cover more than 17,750 sq ft. There is a magnificent drawing room, formal dining room and morning and a vast family kitchen on the ground floor as well as a spa complex complete with a pool, spa bath, steam room and gym. 

The house comes with a large room, lined with empty white shelves, which has a billiards table in the middle

The kitchen is full of cream cupboards, drawers and shelves to provide plenty of storage. The surfaces are all black, white and grey marble and there are also wicker baskets to provide more storage 

This reception room is painted maroon with a cream ceiling. There are big bay windows allowing a lot of natural light into the room with a fireplace for cosy nights in

A huge conservatory looks out onto the garden and the lower ground floor is taken up by an ante room and a spacious study.  

There are six bedrooms, a games room and a library which could be a lovely space for entertaining on the first floor. 

One of the bedrooms has dark blue Chinese wallpaper and has a sign with The Bob Geldof suite written on it. 

Anne and David Feld bought the house from Taylor. 

David said: 'Bob was a great pal of Roger's and would often stay here, so there was a sign with The Bob Geldof suite written on it. 

'We wouldn't change it, it's just too quirky.' 

The second floor has the vaulted, panoramic master suite which comes with its own sitting room, dressing room and private study. 

There is a two-bedroom staff annexe available for additional accommodation and a Grade II-listed Cosford Mill which is a 2,554 sq ft former water mill.

It has four bedrooms and its own access drive. 

The mansion, which is for sale through Savills, has 74 acres of land which is a mix of woodland, pasture and formal lawned areas.

There is a garage fit for up to six cars and a big forecourt. It is surrounded by trees and a climber growing up the side and along the edge of the roof

The room with the swimming pool in is lined by windows, allowing it to be naturally lit during the day

There are 74 acres on the estate and the gardens include a mixture of woodland, pasture and formal lawned areas. It is secluded and surrounded by trees

The gardens have woodlands and pasture as well as formal lawn areas. Here there are two brown benches against a shaped hedge wall

It comes with a stable yard with ten loose boxes and a party barn that was originally used as a rehearsal space and recording studio.  

Anne said they never used the house with little children as their two eldest children were at university and their youngest was 17 when they bought the house. 

She said: 'You don't ever feel like you're in some empty cavernous space. Some big houses are not warm and friendly but this one really is. 

'When I first saw this house I just felt like it hugged me. It was the most wonderful feeling. You see the brochure and you think, "Gosh, it's an enormous house," but you walk in and actually it's really cosy.'
