7 bed detached house for sale

Staunton-On-Arrow, Nr Leominster, Herefordshire HR6

Staunton Park is a magnificent period country house featuring handsome red brick elevations and more than 8,500 square feet of exquisite living space. There are seven bedrooms, seven reception rooms, a wonderful family kitchen with large island, Aga and bespoke cabinetry, all elegantly finished and retaining impressive original features.

Originally the site of a manor house dating back to medieval times, the owner of Staunton Park in the 19th Century demolished the existing building in 1843 and commissioned John Gray to design an altogether grander and more impressive new mansion. In 1921, a great part of this mansion was demolished and the property which currently stands was erected in 1927. The appearance of Staunton Park is still largely Victorian, even with the later addition. The current owners have carried out extensive renovations throughout both the house and the lodge giving the proportions and modern facilities that are looked for today.

Additional accommodation is in The Lodge, which includes a sitting room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a utility room and a bathroom. This sits in its own private fenced off garden. This too has been tastefully renovated throughout.

The gardens at Staunton Park were landscaped between 1842 and 1884 and originally formed part of the of the large estate at that time. They have retained their general appearance for over 100 years with complimentary additions through planting and landscaping. A woodland walk winds down towards the picturesque lake which is abundant with wildlife including nesting swans.

To the rear of the property are the Stables and Coach House which are arranged around a cobbled courtyard. These are currently used as storage but could offer potential for conversion subject to the relevant planning consents.
