Description
Description
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 along with a further three bedroom suites in Poston Lodge and four bedrooms in Poston Cottage, perfect for an extended family or when entertaining friends. The main house has an elegant drawing room, cosy library and an extraordinary William Chambers circular dining room along with a Martin Moore handmade kitchen.
There are 3 very comfortable bedroom suites along with a media room and wine cellar in the basement.
The houses sit at the end of a near mile long drive that rises up through the parkland and mature woodland up to the properties. All of the land is well maintained with rolling parkland, a large pond and extensive mature woodland.
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.
