(All distances are approximate)

SITUATIONStaunton Park is situated in a stunning rural location just outside

of the charming village of Staunton-on-Arrow and yet extremely

accessible. The larger villages of Shobdon and Pembridge are both

close by and have combined local facilities amounting to public

houses, a village store and a post office. The market towns of

Leominster and Kington, which provide excellent shopping, are also

within easy driving distance, whilst the cathedral city of Hereford

with its extensive recreational, educational and shopping facilities is

slightly further afield.

Communications in the area are excellent with the A44 linking

Leominster to Worcester and the M5, and direct trains daily from

Leominster and Hereford to London Paddington. Additionally,

there is an international airport at Birmingham and Bristol airport is

approximately 75 miles away.

This part of north-west Herefordshire is rightly known for its

outstanding natural beauty combining as it does rich farmland with

rolling hillsides.

For racing enthusiasts, there are regular National Hunt meetings at

Ludlow, Hereford and Worcester. The Welsh hills and magnificent

walking and riding country are close by and the area offers a splendid

rural quality of life.

EDUCATIONThere are a good variety of both primary and secondary independent

schools on offer in the surrounding area.

STAUNTON PARKOriginally the site of a manor house dating back to medieval times,

the owner of Staunton Park in the 19th Century, James King-King,

demolished the existing building in 1843 and commissioned John

Gray to design an altogether grander and more impressive new

mansion which would be more in keeping with his inherited wealth.

In 1921, a great part of this mansion was demolished and the property

which currently stands was erected in 1927.

The appearance of Staunton Park is still largely Victorian, even

with the later addition, being solid and square in red brick and

has been home to the current vendors for the past 12 years.

During that time, the property has been tastefully and beautifully

renovated to now offer an impressive and inspiring estate providing

privacy and tranquility in the most beautiful Herefordshire

countryside coupled with the flexibility of a truly exceptional home.

This outstanding home exudes comfort and charm and is beautifully

appointed throughout with many rooms providing, at the very least,

a glimpse of the property’s origins through the period features on

show. Faithful to its era, the high ceilings, wide doors and large sash

windows appear throughout Staunton Park and add to the feeling of

space and light apparent in all rooms.

The entrance hall presents a tempting introduction to Staunton

Park and allows access to the main reception rooms. The drawing

and sitting rooms offer light and inviting reception space with full

length sash windows framing views to the garden and beyond whilst

flooding the rooms with light. The drawing room has a lovely open

fire, with the sitting room boasting a woodburning stove to ensure an

extremely warm welcome. Further reception space is afforded in the

study as well as the more informal snug which also has a woodburner

and provides built-in storage. An orangery is a delightful addition to

this charming home and the ideal location from where to drink in the

glorious surroundings and gain access to the terrace.

Formerly the kitchen to the property and boasting a wonderful original

range cooker, the dining room is a lovely, light room for entertaining,

presenting immense volume. The kitchen/breakfast room has a

charming, cosy, ‘country kitchen’ feel with a good range of base and

wall mounted units and integrated appliances to include a dishwasher

and a four oven AGA with plenty of extra storage available in the

pantry which incorporates two spacious rooms. Further storage space

is provided in the utility room and there is also a most useful room

which the current vendors use as a studio. There is a gun room leading

to the rear porch and a large cellar with good head height. There is a

cloakroom as well as an original Victorian loo.

GARDENS AND LANDThe gardens at Staunton Park were landscaped between 1842 and

1884 and originally formed part of the ‘pleasure grounds’ of the large

estate at that time. They have retained their general appearance for

over 100 years, although the present owners needed to devote a great

deal of time nurturing it back to life which, being keen gardeners, was

a task that they undertook with relish.

Part of the National Gardens’ Scheme, a very different picture is

now presented to the estate’s visitors who can now stroll amongst

gardens of various colours and aromas, delighting and stimulating

the senses.

Although the tree planting of previous owners has left a fine legacy

of mature trees along the drive and around two sides of the lake,

the formality the gardens now enjoy is testament to the energy and

enthusiasm invested over the last 12 years.

The property is approached down a driveway lined with immense

Wellingtonias which were planted towards the end of the previous

century and now dominate the entrance. Immaculate lawns

immediately surround the house with attractive herbaceous and

flowering borders bursting with colour.

Behind the impressive yew hedge and formerly a herb garden, the

informal knot garden is a delightful new addition to Staunton Park

and is mixed with other planting which gives some character even in

the depths of winter. Surrounded by a stone wall, the kitchen garden

presents a large area for a good variety of fruit and vegetables which

flourish due to the sheltered conditions.

A shady woodland walk meanders past the peaceful ‘secret’ Victorian

garden round to the lake and continues past the 18th Century

dove-cot and back to the house.

A most desirable residence for some resident swans and ducks and

well-stocked with carp, the lake is a lesson in total tranquillity,

surrounded by various seating areas from where to enjoy moments of

quiet contemplation amidst the idyllic surroundings.

The formal gardens are bordered by farmland and an area of

woodland filled with birch trees and rhododendrons.
