Set within the distinguished Rothamsted Estate in Hertfordshire, Rothamsted Manor is a remarkable Grade I listed residence that has recently been put on the market for a guide price in excess of £2 million.
The estate has a vast history, spanning from its origin in 1212, to aiding intelligence operations during the Second World War.
In 1934 the manor was placed under the stewardship of the Lawes Agricultural Trust, and in 1953 was recognised as a Grade I listed building.
The manor is now seeking a new tenant to undertake sensitive restoration and stewardship duties, such as maintaining the Garden Clover experiment, which has remained undisturbed since 1854.
An additional benefit of the property is its strong transport connectivity, with fast rail access from Harpenden to London.
Comments
Property agent Crispin Holborow, country director with selling agent Savills Private Office, said: “Rothamsted Manor represents an exciting opportunity for the right buyer to take the reins at a historically and architecturally significant property.
“Steeped in history yet offering considerable versatility, the manor offers not only an impressive private residence, but also a unique opportunity to shape the future of an important English estate. Combining architectural beauty, rich heritage and remarkable adaptability, it stands as one of the most compelling country house offerings, equally suited to private enjoyment or broader commercial vision.”
Leasehold
The leasehold is 125 years from the point of completion of sale.
