About this property

  • Available as a whole or in two lots.

    Lot 1: Elegant Poston Court Estate stands on the site of a medieval deer park high in the Herefordshire hills, looking out over a vast swathe of the glorious Golden Valley to the Black Mountains and the Forest of Dean.

    The original Georgian casino was designed in 1765, by Sir William Chambers, architect to the King and rival to Robert Adam in British neo-classicism. More international in outlook than Adam, William Chambers designed a great number of our outstanding buildings, including Somerset House. Additions to Goodwood House, Newby Park Peper Harow in Surrey and work to Milton Abbey in Dorset, as well as garden ornaments and interior decorations at Blenheim among many others.

    Rarely has a country house and estate been renovated to such exacting detail and quality, it has transformed a timeless classical house into a modern masterpiece.

    Poston House has three bedroom suites, an elegant drawing room, cosy library and an extraordinary William Chambers circular dining room along with a Martin Moore handmade kitchen. There is a media room and wine cellar in the basement.

    Adjacent to the house and set within the formal walled gardens is the orangery and summer house pavilion housing the stone clad pool and summer dining room - the perfect summer entertaining area. The tennis court is just behind.

    Poston Lodge, a short walk from the main house, is a very fine Welsh stone clad property comprising 3 bedroom suites with Poston Cottage across the courtyard with a further 4 bedrooms. In addition is the impressive studio currently a large home office.
