The property was hosting a £20-a-ticket pool party
One neighbour told Mirror Online of the chaotic scenes as revellers fled the party shortly before police arrived in the early hours of the morning.
He said: "It's a huge event and there were security guards and everything outside. At around 2.30am I was woken up by the noise and went outside to see loads of people outside the property.
"Then suddenly all these brand new Land Rovers and sports cars all started racing away. The police and ambulances arrived a few minutes later.
"You could see people coming from the house covered in those foil blankets and obviously extremely distressed. I saw one girl in particular in complete shock.
"It was bedlam there were police everywhere, armed officers, a helicopter overhead, the whole village is in complete shock this morning."

"It's a huge event in a village with only around 200 houses and I'm amazed it's been allowed to happen again.
"There's loud aggressive rap music, people doing donuts in the fields in their Range Rovers, people just batten down the hatches when it's on."
