7 bed detached house to rent

Clamp Hill, Stanmore HA7

Priory House was built around 1530 on the foundations of what is thought to have been the original C13th Priory.

Priory House is surrounded by over 3 acres of landscaped gardens and paddock space, with mature trees and hedges offering complete privacy. The total accommodation extends to 7,000sq ft.

The magnificent grade II listed, 7 bedroom, 6 reception room home has a wealth of architectural detail from the original barrel chimney, three quarter panelled drawing room with glass fronted bookcases, to the beamed dining room with William Morris panels.

Priory House is approached from Clamp Hill along a private meandering driveway. The gardens and grounds are one of the property’s greatest asset. The main area of lawn sweeps from the house and has created a delightful country garden. The rose garden was planted by Barbara Cartland in the 1980’s, a dear friend of the previous owner. Bentley Priory Nature Reserve is located to the rear plot, which comprises 70 acres of ancient woodland, scrub and wetland.

Priory House is located north west of Stanmore within easy reach of Stanmore Broadway shopping amenities, as well as Stanmore Underground Station which provides direct access via the Jubilee line into the West End. The A41, M1 and M25 are also easily accessible, and Heathrow airport is within 15 miles. Nearby independent schools include Haberdashers Askes, North London Collegiate, Aldenham and Merchant Taylors.
