Historic Whitney Court: Edwardian Country House Up for Sale at £3M
Whitney Court, a magnificent Edwardian country home in Herefordshire, is up for sale for the first time with a guide price of £3 million. The grand residence, standing in 22 acres of gardens and wooded parkland, offers a glimpse into the opulence of a bygone era. Built in 1898 by the Hope family, with Lady Mary Nugent as the driving force and architect Thomas H. Watson at the helm, Whitney Court showcases neo-Jacobean style. The home boasts an impressive 19,924 sq ft of accommodation spread over three floors. It features six bathrooms, an electric-bell system, and ducted-air central heating, including one of Britain's first private power plants. The property comprises four formal reception rooms and nine bedrooms, with vast attic space on the second floor offering seven large rooms and two bathrooms. The current owners, Augustine Hope and his American wife, Maureen, have used the home for civil weddings, business, and family entertaining. The grounds are a testament to the family's love for nature, with specimen trees, yew hedging, towering cedars, a rose border, and an abundance of oak trees. The stable block and yard opposite the main gates, complete with a recently renovated stable flat and redevelopment potential, are also included in the sale. Whitney Court, located six miles north of Hay-on-Wye and 17 miles east of Hereford, offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history. With its stunning architecture, expansive grounds, and prime location in the Wye Valley, this unlisted home is a rare find in the British property market.
