The Property Ladbury House is a property steeped in history which has been refurbished, extended and sympathetically restored. The property was purchased in September 1926 by his Royal Highness Prince Henry, the Duke of Gloucester, who was one of King George V sons. The property at the time was a hunting box with a large range of stables and grooms’ quarters, the original grooms’ range still exists on the first floor landing which has been restored. The property offers a wealth of original features to include the fireplace, tiled floors, cloakroom and staircase yet the accommodation has a contemporary feel with the use of the latest bathroom and kitchen fittings, with the kitchen itself featuring a cathedral ceiling, full height picture windows to the front and rear and a galleried gantry of glass and chrome.
