Legatesden House is a substantial late-Victorian country residence thoughtfully extended and extensively renovated, offering almost 7,815 sq ft of family-focused accommodation across three floors. The principal west wing provides a private suite, while eight further bedrooms and versatile reception rooms suit large or multi-generational families. Period features — stained glass, ornate fireplaces, cherry wood floors — sit alongside modern comforts such as a five‑passenger lift, underfloor heating in key areas, and an impressive country kitchen with a four‑oven AGA.
Outside the house sits in about 34 acres of grounds combining two acres of formal garden, a seven‑acre paddock and roughly 25 acres of mixed woodland. Practical outbuildings include an integral double garage, a four‑vehicle garage block, a substantial multipurpose building with workshop and garden room, plus an agricultural building — useful for hobbies, garaging or small‑scale equestrian use. A long tarred drive, stone pillars and specimen planting create a private arrival experience.
The refurbishment carried out in 2008 was comprehensive — new sarking and reslate, rewiring, new double‑glazed timber windows and renewed rainwater fittings — so the property presents ready for occupation. That said, the EPC is rated D and the property uses private water and drainage; upkeep of substantial grounds and multiple buildings should be factored in. There are servitude rights and the owner’s use of the first 50 metres of access road is noted in the title.
This is a rare opportunity for families or those seeking a country estate with flexible accommodation and substantial land. Viewings are recommended for purchasers who value historic character combined with modern amenities and who accept the running costs and maintenance demands of a large rural estate.
