Edwardian Masterpiece Whitney Court Hits Market in Herefordshire
A magnificent Edwardian country house, Whitney Court, is up for sale in Herefordshire's Whitney estate. This grand residence, built in 1898, sits on 22 acres of gardens and wooded parkland, and boasts stunning views towards Hay Bluff. It's priced at a guide of £3 million.
The house, featuring six bathrooms and ducted-air central heating, is a testament to Edwardian architecture. It includes an electric-bell system and one of Britain's first private power plants. With 19,924 sq ft of accommodation, it offers four formal reception rooms and nine bedrooms. The gardens are equally impressive, with specimen trees, yew hedging, and towering cedars. The stable block and yard opposite the main gates are also for sale, offering potential for redevelopment.
Whitney Court's history is as rich as its architecture. Built by the Hope family with architect Thomas H. Watson, it was damaged during World War II. It remained empty until 1950, when Nugent Hope's second wife, Constance, remodeled it.
Whitney Court, unlisted and for sale through Peter Daborn of Savills in Telford, is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Herefordshire's history. With its grand architecture, beautiful gardens, and stunning views, it's a true country estate.
