Discover Your Dream Home at Prospect House

A Majestic Georgian Country House Awaits You

Step into the elegance of Prospect House, a stunning Grade II listed Georgian country estate nestled within expansive private gardens. With beautifully manicured lawns, enchanting mature woodlands, and a charming three-bedroom cottage, this property is perfect for multi-generational living or a delightful holiday retreat.

PROSPECT HOUSE

The main house, Prospect House, is a dream property for someone who appreciated the arts and crafts movements of the late 19th Century. Packed with character and features, this stunning property could have housed William Morris himself with high ceilings, picture rails and an abundance of legacy pieces of furniture.

Located at the picturesque junction of Cadger Bank and Ford Road in the heart of Lanchester village, Prospect House stands as a true gem, hidden amongst lush greenery and serene peace deep within the conservation area. Accessed through a secure gated entrance, this remarkable stone home features a traditional sandstone roof and retains an array of original period details, such as high ceilings, sash windows with classic shutters, and elegant panelled doors.
