The story

Since 1702

Hartswell was built in 1702 for a wool merchant and stayed in one family for nearly three centuries. The walled garden they planted still feeds the kitchen, and the orangery is where the family held their summer parties.

Today it has 42 rooms in the house and the old stables, a spa in the former laundry, and 300 acres to walk.
