Tottenham House is the centrepiece of the historic Tottenham estate in Wiltshire, England. The grade I listed house has 103 rooms and mostly dates from the 1820s when it was remodelled by Charles Brudenell-Bruce of Ailesbury. Set in forestry land that originally stretched for over 100 square miles, the extensive estate was partly used as a deer park and the deer still roam the lands to this day.
Interesting Fact
The estate was the home of Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII, who died giving birth to the future king Edward VI. Henry VIII, a keen deer-hunter, regularly stayed there as a guest of Sir John Seymour, Jane’s father.
The Ailesbury family lived in Tottenham House and shared it with the US Army during the Second World War. They moved out in 1946, at which point Hawtreys Preparatory School used the house until 1994.
In 1966 the house was designated as Grade I listed, and the 50-horse stable block and octagonal folly in the deer park were designated Grade II listed.
Been in there a few times but never got downstairs as the Gurkhas were prowling around. Going back there on Sunday to get some pics of the place. Good detailed report mate
I knew this house (named by that time Hawtreys College) when I was 17 years old, I’ve been there during one entire month of August with Vacational Studies which rented by that time this building to develop its vacational summer courses for childrens from all over the world, and by that time this house was really beautifull and I never forgot it (that’s why I was searching this builduing on internet). It deserves any investor to develop an charming hotel with greens and golf fields because it deserves to be conserved.
I used to live there with the Amber Foundation, I can remember my jaw hitting the ground the very first time I saw the house as we were driving down the drive way, I would so much love to go back & see the house now to see what & how much it’s changed now since I last stayed there.
sick report man
