Price on request. Hurst Lodge Country Estate Description Hurst Lodge is a grade II listed manor house, understood to date back to 1580. The house was built by John Barker, who at the time was a gentleman usher to Queen Elizabeth II. The property has been enlarged over the years, with a classic Queen Anne facade added in 1700 and a further substantial extension added between 1927 and 1936. Arranged over three floors, the accommodation is classically proportioned of its time and the main reception rooms all benefit from lovely high ceilings and a wonderful southerly aspect over the gardens. The house is well suited not only to modern family living, but also to entertaining on a grand scale with 12 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. In addition there are two garden cottages, an old coah house, an artist's studio, extensive barns and original stables. Hurst Lodge is considered to be one of Berkshire's most important and unique historic country estates. From London junction 8/9, Hurst Lodge is about 10 miles.
