Hammonds Place is situated on a desirable 1.3-acre plot, with the main gardens facing south, ensuring sunlight throughout the day. A paved terrace provides an ideal spot for alfresco dining or morning coffee, and the expansive lawns are perfect for children to play. The formal rose garden is a standout feature, so much so that it is included in the house's Grade II listing.
At the front, a gated driveway offers ample parking and leads to a newly built double garage with an outstanding attached annexe. This space would be ideal for a live-in relative, teenager, or nanny, and could also serve as a self-contained Airbnb unit to generate additional income.
Additionally, there is a single garage and a brick outbuilding, providing convenient storage for garden tools and other items, with potential for conversion, subject to planning permission.
History
Hammonds Place was originally constructed as a hall house in the 1400s, oriented on a north-south axis. Around 1500, it was almost entirely rebuilt on a west-east axis, incorporating some elements from the original structure and expanding into a larger timber-framed building.
By 1566, the estate came into the possession of the Michelborne family, a prominent local lineage. They significantly enhanced the property, adding three brick extensions to create an elegant Elizabethan quadrangle, transforming it into a manor house suitable for a 200-acre estate.
During the Elizabethan era, Sir Edward Michelborne, the owner, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I, who is believed to have stayed at the house. Sir Edward was also one of the founders of the East India Company. The Michelborne family remained associated with Hammonds Place until the 18th century, and by the 1780s, the house was considered one of the finest in the county, immortalized in drawings by the renowned artist Samuel Hieronymous Grimm.
In the 1820s, Robert Podmore, a new owner, built a new manor house called Clayton Priory on the estate. Materials from Hammonds Place were likely used in the construction, leading to its decline. The house was later occupied by tenant farmers, and it wasn’t until the 1890s that another tenant, Thomas Arrowsmith Meautys, restored and extended the property. Meautys, a local justice of the peace, is remembered for the tragic loss of his three sons in World War I, commemorated by a small memorial on the porch.In the local Area
