Thinking of relocating? Bentley
Priory, Stanmore, just might be
the place for you...
SO, THE BIG DAY IS OVER
and now you’re looking
for that perfect love nest to call home. Whether you’re
upgrading to fancier digs, or just looking for something
with a real wow factor, Barratt Homes’ new development
at Bentley Priory, Stanmore, is worth a visit.
Situated in Stanmore, north London, many of the
homes within the spectacular 57-acre estate have
panoramic views over the city. Residents will enjoy
access to the meticulously restored Italian Gardens, two
tennis courts, 12 acres of natural parkland and
proximity to some of North London's top schools,
exclusive leisure clubs and beautiful golf courses.
Bentley Priory is set to once again become one of the
capital’s most prestigious addresses.
Barratt, along with Banner Homes and City &
Country, is creating one of the UK’s most successful
historic regeneration projects, in and around Sir John
Soane’s 18th century, Grade II listed mansion house, a
site embedded in both cultural and military history.
In keeping with the style of Soane’s original
architecture and the historic landscape surrounding the
site, the design and layout of Barratt’s 86 new homes
blends seamlessly into the estate grounds, all offering
exceptional quality and style.
The variety of properties includes two and three-
bedroom apartments, three-bedroommews houses and
four-bedroom townhouses, which offer an elegant and
sophisticated lifestyle in this sought-after location.
Bentley Priory is renowned for its vital role as
headquarters for the Fighter Command during the Battle
of Britain – where Air Chief Marshall Hugh Dowding
directed the successful air defence against the Luftwaffe.
Throughout history, Bentley Priory – with its
panoramic views over London – has been a prominent
address. The site of an Augustinian Friary in the 1170s,
it was a country estate in Georgian times. Famous
visitors included William Pitt the Younger, the Duke of
Wellington, the poet Wordsworth and Lady Emma
Hamilton (the mother of Lord Nelson's illegitimate
daughter Horatia). Sir Walter Scott visited frequently,
writing poetry in the summerhouse on an island in the
lake – now part of the neighbouring Bentley Priory
Nature Reserve. Later, Bentley Priory would become a
royal residence, home of the Dowager Queen Adelaide.
As well as homes, the mansion will also house the
new Bentley Priory Battle of Britain Trust Museum,
telling the story of an important chapter of Britain's
history – the leadership, courage and technology that
secured victory for Britain – as well as a broader history
of the mansion throughout its history.
Bentley Priory offers a unique opportunity to live a
new life of privacy, tranquillity and elegance in a
location with a rich and noble history.
