(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.
