Total THE country house where the Allied invasion of Normandy was planned has gone on sale for £ 2.75million.

Syrencot House near Salisbury, Wiltshire, was the HQ during the Second World War for commanders Lieutenant General Frederick Browning, General Sir Richard Gale and Field Marshal Lord Alanbrooke.

It was there the trio thrashed out airborne plans for D- Day, including the audacious capture of Pegasus Bridge during the early hours of June 6, 1944.

British troops stormed the bridge after landing in near- silence in gliders yards from the enemy.

The operation was vital for victory because it helped stop an enemy counter- attack. The codename assigned to Syrencot House was Broadmoor and staff there nicknamed it The Mad House.

Following D- Day it was allegedly used as a centre for Britain’s spies and after the war the Ministry of Defence leased the premises to a building company which turned the main house into offices.

The nine- bedroom manor house was the ancestral home of the Hussey family and the current owners have been there since 2000.

Fred Cook, of estate agent Strutt and Parker’s Salisbury office, said: “Syrencot House is a stunning country residence with a fantastic history.”
