This Tudor mansion is a showcase for Anglo-American design.

The acid test for being an Anglophile is, “Can you produce an unretouched photograph of Prince Philip and Prince Edward seated in either of your two Rolls Royces?” Manhattan investment counselor Bruce D. Bent can do this, twice over.

“I bought it from Colin Hampton [president of Union Mutual Life Insurance Co.],” who owned it from 1974 until 1993.

“The house gets its name from the British, who kept a fort and supply dock here in pre-Revolutionary days,” says listing agent William Davisson of LandVest, who is offering this Cotswold-style castle on 14 lush acres of bold Cape Elizabeth oceanfront for $6.25 million.
