A magnificent country house with ancillary accommodation and extensive grounds and outbuildings.
Jaggards is a beautiful Grade II* Listed Jacobean country house with medieval elements, offering a peaceful retreat from modern life. The property combines medieval, Georgian, and Victorian interiors with Jacobean oak paneled drawing rooms and traditional strapwork ceilings, creating a unique blend of character and practicality.
The current owner has carefully maintained and restored the property over the past 25 years. Previously, it was home to the same family for over 200 years, who were descendants of Oliver Cromwell.
The ground floor features multiple reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast room located at the west end of the house. At the rear, a Neo-Gothic Bath stone conservatory faces south, providing an ideal space for summer entertaining.
On the first floor, there are six bedrooms, a family room, and a secondary staircase leading to the second floor, which includes two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, and the principal suite.
Outbuildings
To the rear of Jaggards is a substantial Coach House comprising a separate dwelling on the first floor for ancillary accommodation along with further stabling and stores, which could be converted subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
Gardens and Grounds
The property’s grounds are equally impressive, with formal gardens, ancient yew hedging, and manicured lawns. Features include a historic dovecote with approximately 1,000 nesting boxes and a Georgian outdoor privy with decorative friezes.
Winding paths lead through mature oak trees, a coppiced hornbeam grove, and a formal orchard within a wisteria-covered walled garden, with seasonal blooms enhancing the box-hedged beds.
Jaggards offers a rare opportunity to own a historic and well maintained country home with spacious living areas and extensive grounds, perfect for family life or as a country retreat.
