Description
The Property - A charming character apartment with an interesting local history. This home is situated adjacent to Mentmore Towers in the desirable quintessential English village of Mentmore. The Bothy forms part of the original gardener's accommodation of The Rothchilds Estate built in 1893 and was converted from its original arrangement in 1954 when the upper and lower apartments were created and now when you step inside you can't help but notice that many lovely features have either been restored or re-instated.
Outside - There are the most delightful gardens a garage and driveway parking. This would to my mind be the ultimate weekend retreat or second home. Mentmore has always had that air or exclusivity and charm about it with parkland setting and the grand Mentmore towers in the distance. A distinct bonus is the Stag Inn, a well known and iconic pub and restaurant which is now owned by various members of Mentmore and is very well regarded in the local area.
The Location - This beautiful, quintessential English country village enjoys an idyllic hilltop setting, around 7 miles north of Tring.
Originally mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, today the dominant feature of the village is undoubtedly the fine, Victorian, Grade I listed stately home, Mentmore Towers. Commissioned by Baron Meyer Amschel de Rothschild in the mid nineteenth century, this impressive mansion was designed by George Henry Stokes and Joseph Paxton, the latter having also been responsible for designing The Crystal Palace for the Great Exhibition of 1851.
On the death of Baron de Rothschild, the Estate was inherited by his daughter Hannah who, in 1878, married the fifth Earl of Rosebery, who later went on to become Prime Minister.
Mentmore village was, in the most part, rebuilt by Baron de Rothschild on completion of Mentmore Towers, to be used as accommodation for the Estate's many workers. The central village green still enjoys breathtaking views over the Vale of Aylesbury, while the village church, dating to the 13th Century and set at the highest point in the village, features a 15th Century tower that serves as a landmark for miles around.
