Rossway, Historic country estate in Berkhamsted, England
Rossway is a historic country estate in Berkhamsted covering around 1000 acres with a Victorian Italianate mansion featuring a stone portico and marble columns. The property includes numerous ancillary buildings and structures distributed across the grounds.
Robert Sutton purchased the property in 1802, while Charles Stanton Hadden acquired it in 1863 and commissioned a new mansion completed in 1867. These two periods of ownership and development shaped the structures visible today.
The Grade II listed buildings display architectural details from the 1600s and Victorian times, including preserved wooden fireplaces that visitors can see throughout the grounds. These features show how different periods shaped the look and use of the structures.
The property offers self-storage facilities including containers, silos, workshops, and parking spaces available throughout the week for business and personal storage needs. Check ahead as access may vary depending on your intended use of the facilities.
The property keeps a herd of alpacas whose wool supports local craft work and whose manure enriches the soil in the walled gardens. This combination of animal husbandry and gardening creates an unusual living element on the estate.
