THE PROPERTY

Plans drawn up by architects A&J Williamson in 1821 contained an area to the west of the main house now known as the Pleasure Gardens.

Stretching almost to the River Blackwater the Pleasure Garden are defined at their northern end by East and West Pavilions.

West Pavilion has always been used as a Pump House whilst East Pavilion is now a garden house, offering one ensuite bedroom, one living room and a fully fitted kitchen.

The property has recently been refurbished, including new carpets, freshly painted walls and windows plus new radiators.

East Pavilion offers a compact, comfortable living environment set within the wider Argory estate, which offers excellent opportunities for recreation and relaxation.

THE ESTATE

The Argory lands were home to the MacGeough - Bond family from the mid-1700’s.

Completed in 1824 the neo-classical main house is described as “a treasure trove of a house, densely furnished as the family left it including a fully working Bishop’s and Son cabinet barrel organ”.

Donated to the National Trust I979 the estate is centred around the Blackwater River, a popular location for fishing and canoeing.

It extends to around 320 acres and consists of formal gardens, riverside walks, extensive woodland (with paths) and farmland. 

THE NATIONAL TRUST

The National Trust is Europe’s leading conservation charity, and is committed to preserving special places for everyone, for ever.

The Trust depends on the income it generates from its rental properties and could not deliver its core objectives without the support of its thousands of tenants and volunteers. 

All tenants of the National Trust receive a FREE 'Tenant Pass' throughout the duration of the tenancy. This entitles two adults plus accompanying children to enjoy unlimited entry to National Trust properties in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
