The House

Every room at The Lawn

Seven bedrooms upstairs sleep sixteen. Downstairs there is a kitchen made for cooking for a crowd, a dining room that seats the whole party, Lord Denning's library and two sitting rooms, all opening onto the garden.

Living spaces Ground floor

Kitchen

The heart of the house. A long island with bar stools, a range cooker, an American fridge freezer and two dishwashers, so cooking and clearing up for sixteen never feels like a chore.

The kitchen island with bar stools and pendant lights Kitchen island and units in blue and white Glass lantern pendant light over the island Worktop with coffee machine and kettle under shuttered windows

Dining room

One long table for the whole group, with French windows onto the terrace for drinks before dinner or lunch outside in summer.

The library

Lord Denning's study, still lined with his law reports. A quiet room for reading or working, and a meeting room for legal and corporate away days.

The library with shelves of law reports and a central table Library fireplace with a longcase clock Red and brown bound law reports on floor-to-ceiling shelves A gavel and books on the library desk

Sitting room

Deep white sofas, a wood-burning stove and a television, with tall windows over the garden. One of the sofas is a sofa bed for an extra guest.

Second sitting room

A second, separate place to relax, with its own wood-burner and television, so the group can spread out.

Hall and terrace

A wide entrance hall with the staircase up to the bedrooms, and garden doors out to the terrace.
