Park House is a substantial mid-18th century Georgian residence set within approximately 27 acres of formal gardens, paddock and a 7‑acre lake. The house offers grand reception rooms, high ceilings, five principal bedrooms, a cellar and a range of useful outbuildings including a two‑bedroom cottage, coach house, stable, garage block and workshop. Private driveways, walled gardens and far‑reaching lake views underline the estate’s strong family‑house credentials.
The estate also presents clear development potential: the main house, cottage and outbuildings could be repurposed (subject to planning consent) for multiple dwellings, holiday lets or a boutique operation. A paddock adjacent to the lake is identified as a potential site for low‑density proposals such as glamping pods, again depending on the necessary consents. The property has been in the same custodianship for many decades and lends itself to a buyer seeking either an impressive private home or a conversion project with significant scale.
Buyers should note important constraints and likely investment needs. No planning permissions are currently granted; any conversion or commercial use will require local authority approvals. The Grade II listed boat house requires complete refurbishment and a number of estate elements will need modernisation — the main house is constructed to historic standards (solid brick walls with no insulation assumed) and services such as broadband are very slow. There is a medium flood risk associated with the lake frontage, and council tax is described as quite expensive.
In short, Park House is a rare, large‑scale Georgian estate offering immediate domestic grandeur and long‑term development upside. It suits purchasers who value privacy, period character and land, and who understand the time and capital needed to modernise historic fabric and secure any planning consents for change of use.
