Lattiford House is steeped in history and is a prominent Georgian Grade II listed property built from local squared stone with a clay-tiled roof.

It was likely built c.1800 with a West wing added in the later 19th century.

However, the main house was destroyed in 1901 by a fire and re-built on a larger scale, later becoming Childscourt school from 1993 to 1999.

In 2003 the main house was converted into four apartments with the estate buildings also undergoing renovation, creating a private hamlet set within 9 acres of communal gardens.

A tennis court, pond, manicured gardens and surrounding fields provide an oasis for residents to enjoy and with agreement, tend parts of the garden individually for their own pleasure.

Please be advised that no pets are allowed within Lattiford House.
