THE GROVE

Please enter a subtitle

Boasting a 300-acre private park, next to the river Gade and The Grand Union Canal, The Grove's name is synonymous with luxury.

The main house is a red brick structure with stone quoins, mostly in the Palladian style, and the south-facing front of the house is flanked by large neoclassical Doric pilasters.

Originally built in 1720, The Grove has been altered and added to, many times.

Between 1754 and 1761, architect Matthew Brettingham produced a seven-bay south front with two wings, facing south for the 1st Earl. Its south facing main entrance front features a "2:3:2, main range articulated by Giant Roman Doric pilasters. To the centre a larger round-headed sash with apron panel and key blocked surround in an aedicular frame with pediment rising above 20th century stone coped parapet.
