The sprawling estate includes around 100 rooms and is being renovated through a series of ambitious projects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plans include a tennis pavilion, cinema room and solar farm, among other improvements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The restoration is not expected to be completed until spring 2028.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A source close to the project said the work would continue as planned and that there were currently no plans to sell the property.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe estate is not habitable at the moment,\u201d the source said, adding that Rokos still expects to spend significant time at the property once the restoration is complete.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision to retain the mansion could also leave open the possibility of Rokos spending more time in Britain in the future.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-chris-rokos-moves-tax-residency-to-greece\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chris Rokos Moves Tax Residency to Greece<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rokos became one of the latest wealthy Britons to relocate abroad, with Greece reportedly becoming his new base.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His departure comes amid concerns among high earners and investors over the direction of UK tax policy and the prospect of further tax increases targeting wealthy individuals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite changing his residency, Rokos appears to remain closely connected to Britain through his property holdings, business interests and philanthropic activities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He is estimated to have paid more than \u00a3330 million in UK taxes last year, making him one of the country\u2019s biggest individual taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That figure is equivalent to the combined tax contribution of thousands of average UK households.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-major-cambridge-donation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Major Cambridge Donation<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rokos has also maintained strong links with British institutions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this year, he made a record \u00a3190 million donation to the University of Cambridge, funding the establishment of the Rokos School of Government.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His philanthropic activities have made him one of Britain\u2019s most significant private donors.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-historic-tottenham-house\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Historic Tottenham House<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tottenham House has a long history dating back centuries and was formerly associated with the Earl of Cardigan and the Savernake Estate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The surrounding land was once part of a royal hunting forest and has historical connections to the Tudor period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The family of Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII, also lived in the area at Wolf Hall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rokos owns another historic English property, Mawley Hall in Shropshire, an 18th century Baroque country house that he purchased in 2018. The property has also undergone repair and restoration work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, Tottenham House remains at the centre of Rokos\u2019s ambitious British property projects, even as the billionaire establishes his new life and tax residency in Greece.<\/p>\n<div class=\"category_container author-information\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<section id=\"authorpage\" class=\"authorpage\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/99ca06517608e7af44e9761bf7c358974ffbc4a43859fd8e5be6fc2f50d341af?s=164&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/99ca06517608e7af44e9761bf7c358974ffbc4a43859fd8e5be6fc2f50d341af?s=328&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-164 photo lazyload\" height=\"164\" width=\"164\" decoding=\"async\"\/>\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"author-content\">\n<h5>Bill Giannopoulos<\/h5>\n<h4>Junior Editor<\/h4>\n<p>Bill Giannopoulos is a Junior Editor at Greek City Times, covering Greek and international news, sport, and history.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/greekcitytimes.gr\" class=\"boxed-icon fill\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-link\"\/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/greekcitytimes.com\/2026\/09\/09\/chris-rokos-greece-wiltshire-mansion\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British billionaire and hedge fund manager Chris Rokos is moving his tax residency to Greece but plans to continue a major \u00a3175 million restoration project at his historic Wiltshire estate.
