Actor and author Michael Caine has&nbsp;a house on the market about an hour’s train ride&nbsp;from London just outside a town called&nbsp;Leatherhead, which almost sounds like a movie he could have starred in.&nbsp;But, no,&nbsp;it is a quiet English village setting&nbsp;that has his eight-acre property asking&nbsp;&pound;3.75 million&nbsp;(about $5 million)&nbsp;with&nbsp;a main house, two cottages, an athletic center with indoor pool and many acres of landscaped gardens.&nbsp;Located down a private lane, with&nbsp;a total combined living space of&nbsp; over&nbsp;12,000 square feet, the property could be a place to have several generations living side by side.&nbsp;

Leatherhead itself is in the&nbsp;Surrey Hills region known for its appeal to holiday goers who want to take in a few hikes across the majestic scenery. Properties around Leatherhead typically start just under a million pounds ($1.5 million) for single family detached houses and this is currently the priciest home for sale in the town or surrounding area. The next one down on the price list is a&nbsp;&pound;2.2 million ($3 million) 4-bedroom house on three-quarters of an acre.

The entire package could be straight of central casting for British homes.&nbsp;Original wood beams adorn some of the ceilings in the main house, numerous dormer windows look out over the lush green gardens, many of the draperies and other decor&nbsp;have&nbsp;a floral motif (so British!) and the clapboard exterior still give it a cottage feel even though it is quite large. Above is a look at the main living room in the house.

There isn’t a photo of the kitchen, but this appears to be the eating area of what would be an eat-in kitchen. Several sets of double doors open out to the patio and the floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights help bring in abundant natural light.

There’s a media room with drop down screen that connects to the indoor pool building.

Here’s the indoor pool in its own building dedicated to athletic use. Besides the pool there is a&nbsp;hot tub, gym, bathroom/dressing room and studio.&nbsp;

There’s a greenhouse and potting shed to help take care of all the greenery.

Here’s a look at the main building.

Here’s an overhead view of the nearly-eight acres of land and its landscaped.

The property is co-listed with&nbsp;Strutt &amp; Parker&nbsp;and&nbsp;Grosvenor Billinghurst. Reps for the agent declined to comments. Here is the listing page for more information.
