Formal landscape garden, laid out in 1730. The child home of the late Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother.
The estate has been used for filming in the past on various occasions. It is made up of 40 acres of formal gardens in the classic style, the ruins of an Orangery, several temples, a small lake and other ornamental ponds, a Clock Tower, a Tennis Court, statues, a Walled garden, various 16th-19th Century farm buildings, arable and dairy farming, hedgerows, small fields, 500 acres of woodland, bluebells, pheasants and through part of it flows the River Mimram. There is unlimited parking and it is close to Pinewood, Elstree and Leavesden Studios. There is a Medieval Church, a 19th Century Public House and several small villages nearby.
The garden is available for weddings a few times each year, a spectacular setting with superb photo opportunities. We offer sole use of the garden, you arrange a marquee and catering. There are several different locations for a marquee. We have had weddings ranging in size from 50 to 800. Each wedding is unique, and you will want to have your own special plans.
We have a licence for Civil Ceremonies, which can be held in a beautiful room in the house (maximum 50), or in one of the temples in the garden (maximum inside 24).
There are a number of properties on the estate, both residential and commercial. The residential properties range from small one and two bedroom flats within converted stables to large, six bedroom traditional farmhouses.
There is regular demand for the houses from people who dream of living in a beautiful rural environment but who also want to take advantage of the good rail and road links to London and the surrounding cities.
We also have several properties scattered over the estate which are suitable for a range of commercial uses, from storage through to office space.
