Description
Description
Lanhill House is a magnificent Grade II Listed country house set within 3 acres of gardens and grounds with an impressive entrance through electric gates to a sweeping circular driveway framed by roses. Lanhill House was built by James Thomson in 1845 as part of the J.Neeld estate, reputedly for the estate manager. The unique design incorporates a front projecting porch tower with a spectacular bell turret and sundial. According to the book by Marcus Binney, Lanhill House is described as one of the 500 best buildings in Britain and Ireland.
The principal accommodation is generously proportioned coupled with excellent ceiling height and tall casement windows extending to just under 6,000 sq.ft. and yet is manageable and comfortable. In the main house there are five bedrooms, four bathrooms and five well proportioned, light-filled reception rooms, coupled with an impressive marble finished kitchen.
A former stable block has been converted to an adjoining a self-contained 2/3 bedroom annexe (946 sq.ft.) which is ideal for dependent relatives, a house-keeper, or similar.
Garden and Grounds
Externally, Lanhill House commands a mature private plot screened by well-established trees and high stone walls offering a great degree of privacy and seclusion.
In addition to the front driveway, there is second gated vehicular drive at the rear leading to an extensive 6-bay garaging and other useful outbuildings. The gardens wraparound the house landscaped into various areas including a charming walled garden with a seating terrace, extensive lawns, a lily pond with a water feature, and a vegetable garden.
Beyond the formal gardens there is a 0.9 acre paddock with vehicular access. The grounds feature an array of specimen trees whilst within the paddock there are fruit trees.
