Pednor House, Grade II listed building in Chartridge, England
Pednor House is a Grade II listed residence in Chartridge that began as a timber-framed farmhouse and was substantially reshaped in the early 20th century. The property comprises a main dwelling, separate cottage, and extensive grounds with gardens arranged around traditional landscape features.
The house was built as a timber-framed structure in the 17th century and underwent major redesign by architects Forbes and Tate in 1910. This transformation determined much of the building's current character and spatial arrangement.
The garden reflects design principles associated with landscape architect Gertrude Jekyll, incorporating traditional planting patterns that shape how visitors move through the grounds.
The location provides straightforward access via local transport links and is convenient for visitors traveling by car or rail from London. The countryside setting remains accessible for day trips while maintaining a peaceful rural atmosphere.
A cylindrical brick structure stands at the entrance to mark the property boundary, a dovecote from an earlier era that demonstrates traditional building methods. This small but distinctive feature connects the site to its agricultural past and remains one of the first things visitors notice.
