Houghton Estate - Iconic Mansion

Located at 7 Rose Road, this remarkable property blends classical elegance with serene natural beauty, though it is in need of some refurbishment to restore its full potential.

Inside, the property features a large cottage and a charming bungalow with a fireplace. The layout includes a reception area, spacious lounge adorned with stained glass, and seven generously sized bedrooms. Notable elements such as the beautifully crafted wooden staircase add to the property's character but show signs of age that could benefit from careful restoration.

The grounds include a patio and swimming pool, both of which need attention, along with lush gardens that can be revitalized to enhance privacy and beauty. The property's elevated position makes the most of scenic views, and the grand approach, marked by stately steps, retains a sense of historic grandeur. With some thoughtful renovation, 7 Rose Road can once again stand as a refined, picturesque haven that pays homage to its storied past, combining classic design with modern comfort.
