Description
The East Wing of Home Farm House, an impressive and beautiful grade II listed building that is mentioned in Pevsner’s influential Architectural guide, The Buildings of England, Pevsner writes of Bedford Lodge, “…the three bay east wing (now a separate house) was built in matching style (in) 1911”.
Whilst this wing dates from 1911, the listing text states that the adjoining farmhouse was rebuilt by the Duke of Bedford on the site of the former hunting lodge of the 1st Lord Russell Baron of Thornhaugh, which explains this property’s name.

Ideal for keen walkers and runners, a number of public footpaths emanate from the hamlet, whilst views are generally over landscaped gardens, pasture and woodland.

The hallway transitions past the dining room to the delightful sitting room, with attractive westerly views through tall sash windows.
