Only the immediate local community know of this property’s location. It cannot be seen from any surrounding roads. Planning permission for a gate lodge has been obtained and can be resurrected and cast iron gates for the main entrance exist and may be included. The current owners have elected not to install these to date to protect the total anonymity of the property from any outside passing view.

The main house is approached by a one kilometre tarmac drive, flanked in part by mature rhododendrons and laurels. Different vistas appear as you progress along the drive, passing grazing paddocks and a lake with island. The backdrop of mountains, snow covered in winter and fringed by plantations of mature conifers and beech, is impressive indeed. The drive continues on to a tree lined avenue and opens onto a stunning view over sloping parkland featuring giant cedars, oak and horse chestnut trees before arriving at the gravelled front entrance to the main house.

The house bears a ‘Blue Plaque’ to commemorate John Palliser, hunter and explorer who was commissioned by the Royal Geographical Society to establish a passage through the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The Palliser family built this house in the early 18th Century and John Palliser was born here in 1817

Described by all who have visited as ‘A piece of Heaven’, this property and its surrounds must be seen to be fully appreciated. Words are inadequate.

The estate is Freehold.
