Rare opportunity to enjoy the exclusive use of a striking English country home
Helmdon House nestled in the rural Northamptonshire countryside, is an elegant and quintessential former vicarage built in 1836 with the later addition of an Orangery set in 8 acres. A relaxing family home decorated with comfort in mind makes it the perfect setting for a weekend getaway suitable for all ages. Beautifully furnished with family portraits and antiques, passed down through the generations.
With seven bedrooms (sleeping 14) Helmdon House offers a unique setting with a classical range of entertaining spaces with open log fires, allowing you to personalise an intimate and unforgettable occasion for you and your guests. Enjoy a swim in the outdoor swimming pool (seasonal), plan a family tennis tournament or simply curl up and read a good book beside a roaring fire for some post-indulgence relaxation.
With a high repeat visit ratio from guests, Helmdon House offers a refined home-from-home experience. Its close proximity to the leading independent schools (Rugby School, Stowe School, Winchester House School, Tudor Hall School and St. Edwards School) ensures it works perfectly for special occasions such as Confirmation, Leaver’s Speech Days, exeat and quiet revision weeks during half term.
“Emma has the most beautiful home that we were extremely lucky to have access to for a weekend. The house was perfect for our families to catch up for a 40th birthday celebration…Would recommend in a heartbeat.” Iain, Air BnB
