Lavendon Grange

Lavendon Grange was built on the site of an old Abbey in 1626 and is believed to have been constructed using material from that building. The Grange was altered in 1722, extended in 1911 and was converted into four
separate properties in the early 1980s.

The East Wing is formed from part of the original dwelling with accommodation arranged over four floors. This significant dwelling has enjoyed a tasteful extension at ground floor level in sympathy with the construction and style of the original Grange. The additional room created adds seamlessly and unobtrusively to the listed building and has become a favourite part of this fine home.

The grounds extend in excess of 4 acres with approximately three acres of stock proof paddock and further additional acreage to be found in the self contained formal gardens. There is ample off road parking, a "Heritage" style double carport and easy access to excellent walking and the renowned "Three Shires bridleway" which is in immediate proximity.
