About this property

A fabulous ‘one of its kind’ Edwardian country manor house, set within about 22 acres of beautiful gardens, grounds and parkland.

HISTORY

The present (third) Whitney Court is a monument to the first British Industrial Revolution. Conceived during the high point of Victorian power and pride, (1897), it was to be a state-of-the-art structure for its day with an electric bell system for the whole house, ducted air central heating on the ground floor, and one of the first private electric power plants in Britain. The Neo-Jacobean house was built, for the most part regardless of expense between 1898 and 1902 by prize winning architect T H Watson. Whitney Court is the joint work of three well-connected partners, Lady Mary Nugent, her daughter in law Eliza Coats, Peter Coats (Eliza’s brother), and Eliza’s husband, James Louis Alexander Hope. Today the house is still within the Hope family.
