Garston Manor is currently on the market and could be yours

High Elms Manor, which was formerly called Garston Manor, is a Georgian country house with the oldest part built around 1812.

Augustus Cavendish Bradshaw was the originator of High Elms and lived with his wife Mary Ann – a very notable couple at this time.

When it was put up for sale in 1932, the estate covered nearly 300 acres and included Fortunes Farm and Waterdale as well as several cottages.

Over the years, bits of the land were sold off and was repurposed for various uses - and after the war Watford Council bought part of it and allotments and Boundary Way were laid out.

Although the property has been run as an independent school for a number of years, Sterling Estate Agents are currently advertising the land as an opportunity that could “easily be returned to a residential dwelling, a spa, a luxury country retreat” and more.

It has been listed since April this year, but it currently remains on the market without an estimated price.

Some of the main features of the ground floor include a ballroom, banqueting hall, drawing room and a morning room.

Currently the first and second floor have been converted into five flats, but the property could be easily modified to suit your own needs.

To the left-hand side of the main house are timber framed outbuildings which are currently being used as school classrooms, but Sterling says it could make ideal staff quarters.

The property itself is surrounded by mature trees and woodland.

The land itself is listed to be around 24,304 square foot, with 14 possible bedrooms on offer, seven bathrooms and 20 reception rooms.

There is a basement, ground floor and first floor.
