Tadlow, Royston, Cambridgeshire, SG8

Tadlow House, formerly the Vicarage to the adjoining 13th-century Church of St Giles, is an outstanding, classic Georgian family home. Built by Downing College, Cambridge in 1832 and constructed with brick elevations under a tiled roof, the spacious and elegant accommodation with large sash windows and French doors provides a light and airy atmosphere throughout. The current owners have carried out a full and extensive program of improvements across the entire property, including a full renovation and re-landscaping. The result is a stunning and unique family home with a wealth of period charm, combined with the comfort of modern day living. The house is set within 10 acres, split across three titles, with internal accommodation stretching to around 8000 sq ft.
