The Buildings

Battenhall House is a stunning Grade II* Listed Italianate mansion that has been beautifully refurbished to accommodate some apartments and extensive communal facilities. The space is both impressive and welcoming.

Other existing buildings - the Stables, Gatehouse and Gardener's Cottage - have all been restored with equal care and attention to detail. These provide delightful character homes, alongside three new-build villas housing further one and two-bedroom apartments. The very best materials have been used to create both communal areas and individual properties that are elegant, stylish, luxurious, and comfortable.

All properties benefit from a 10-year home warranty provided by the NHBC or Checkmate (new-build and conversion properties respectively).
