House For Sale £2,500,000
Lot 2
Dating back to 1852 is this magnificent country estate, which centres around a handsome Grade II listed Jacobean-style manor. Surrounded by spectacular gardens and grounds, extending to around ten acres, this exceptional property located in a prominent position occupies a truly enviable rural location with river frontage on the edge of the Peak District and just a couple of miles from the popular historic market town of Ashbourne.
The house became the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s convalescent home in April 1946. In 1938, as the threat of war increased, the Society had the foresight to consider moving some of its activities out of London. As a result, it bought the lease of the house in May 1939, four months before the outbreak of war. After nearly 60 years as the Society’s convalescent home, the house was sold by the trustees of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Benevolent Fund to the current owners.
