Ashmorton House is a spacious Victorian country house set in 7 acres of grounds, situated on the North Hertfordshire/Bedfordshire borders, easily accessible from London by rail or car. The house has been lovingly restored to an immaculate standard; creating a comfortable, warm and welcoming home. The house is decorated in the timeless country house style and furnished with good antique furniture, oil paintings and luxurious designer fabrics. Set in lawned grounds, approached by a long tree-lined driveway, with lovely bedrooms and reception rooms, including an original billiard room and full size tennis court, Ashmorton would be a perfect venue to celebrate a special family birthday or anniversary.
Dating from 1860, when the house was built for a gentleman farmer who owned a 380 acre estate of the surrounding farmland, Ashmorton has had an interesting history, including having once been the home of a tea-plantation owner in India. At the turn of the century the house apparently had to be sold to pay a huge gambling debt! The house would be a wonderful base from which to explore the historic attractions of Hatfield House, Woburn Abbey and the Wimpole Estate near Royston. Outings for children include Whipsnade Zoo and Woburn Safari Park, as well as the Duxford Air Museum. Further afield, but worth exploring on longer stays, are the historic towns of St Albans and Cambridge. The old market towns of Hitchin and Baldock are both just 3 miles away and offer lots of restaurants and shops. Good "gastro - pubs" to eat locally include The Bell at Westoning and The Black Horse at Ireland, which is just 5 minutes away. The Auberge Du Lac at Brockett Hall in Welwyn is a good restaurant in a lovely setting.
