Markyate, Hertfordshire
A stunning Grade II* listed Queen Anne style house and its outbuildings are being converted into ten luxury homes. The development, located near St Albans, has a wealth of historical connections – Queen Mary is said to have stayed in what will be the master bedroom suite to one of the six-bedroom houses. The house was the dower house to the Beechwood estate, where Prince Edward, who became King Edward VI in 1547, is thought to have spent some of his childhood. The unique stable courtyard has been converted into three homes, one of which will make a feature of three stalls of the restored stables. The homes are now available for sale, priced from £250,000 to £1.39 million. Contact Knight Frnk on 01494 675368 or Lane Fox on 01582 764343.
