English Heritage Has A Property For Lease

And I say if it was good enough for the Queen Of Bohemia....it certainly is good enough for my family!

Seriously, I would LOVE the opportunity to stay in such a grand country home as Ashdown House never mind live in it permanently. Check out this beautiful bedroom....fit for a Queen!

According to the BBC

The house dates back to the mid-17th Century and was built by the Lord Craven for Charles I's sister, Elizabeth, the exiled Queen of Bohemia, so she might avoid the plague in London.

She died before she could see it and Lord Craven never married but the property remained with the Craven family until 1956 when it was given to the National Trust.

A 41 year lease is available, and the property includes:

*Eight bedrooms
*Two pavilions
*Heated pool and tennis court
*Three keepers' cottages
*Orangery

Sigh....................

It never hurts to dream though! ;)

Enditall
