Letton Court is an impressive Georgian-style country house providing a blend of traditional elegance and modern comfort. The main house spans two floors with a thoughtfully designed layout that offers eight or nine spacious bedrooms (depending on how you choose to use them), numerous reception areas, and a wealth of period features.

Upon entering, the grand reception hall welcomes guests with exposed oak flooring, a magnificent stone fireplace, and a stunning oak cantilevered staircase with turned balustrades. The drawing room and sitting room, located at the southern end of the house, are richly adorned with ornate plaster ceilings, timber panelling, and large windows that offer commanding views of the surrounding gardens and parkland.

The formal dining room, centrally positioned within the house, boasts a curved bay window, ornate plasterwork, and a classic fireplace, creating an elegant setting for entertaining. Adjacent to the dining room is the guest cloakroom and access to the practical cellars below. The contemporary kitchen and breakfast room, located at the north end, feature custom cabinetry by Woodgrayne Interiors and integrated appliances by SMEG. A central island with a unique illuminated resin feature and bifold doors leading to the pool area enhance this space as the heart of the home.

The first floor offers a versatile bedroom arrangement, including a master suite, three further bedrooms with en suite facilities, and additional bedrooms that can be tailored to suit family needs. Luxurious bathrooms have been recently updated with modern fixtures, blending seamlessly with the property's historic charm.

Dating back to the 1800's, complementing the main house are two charming courtyard apartments. The first includes a kitchen, sitting/dining room, bedroom, and bathroom, while the second offers a more extensive layout with a kitchen, sitting room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. Additionally, the clock tower courtyard has been refurbished to include office space, ample storage, and potential for further development, adding to the property's flexibility and appeal.

The Letton Court Fishery business operates on the estate, utilising the extensive fishing rights along the River Wye. This business has potential for growth or can be managed as a low-maintenance income stream, allowing owners to benefit from the natural resources of the property without intensive management. More information is available by request.

Outside - The grounds of Letton Court are nothing short of spectacular, offering circa 53 acres of manicured gardens, parkland, and private lakeside beauty. Accessed via a quiet lane, the estate boasts a grand approach, with the main house positioned on double terraced lawns that enhance its slightly elevated stance, providing sweeping rural vistas.

The formal gardens, originally laid out in the 1800s, feature mature shrubs, specimen trees including an impressive Wellington Sequoia, and meticulously planted walkways. These areas provide stunning backdrops and tranquil spots to relax while taking in the estate's natural beauty. The outdoor heated swimming pool is easily accessed from the kitchen or the courtyard and is surrounded by a terrace, offering a perfect setting for relaxation and al fresco dining.

Beyond the formal gardens lies the cottage gardens with a Victorian greenhouse and an old grass tennis court. With its own access from the lane, this area could be suitable for stables (subject to the relevant permissions), adding to the property's recreational offerings.
At the southern end of the estate, the grounds extend to the River Wye, encompassing an oxbow lake that is stocked with mature coarse fish, such as bream, pike, carp, and tench. This section of the property, designated as an area of special scientific interest, offers outstanding opportunities for fishing and sporting activities.

The land surrounding Letton Court also includes meadows with ancient trees like cedar, oak, copper beech, willow, and silver birch, further enhancing the estate's idyllic setting.
