After inheriting the earldom in August 2022, the current Earl of Suffolk decided that his childhood home (when he was Viscount Andover) would now better serve as an elegant and enticing bolthole for luxury private stays and discreet corporate retreats.
The project has attended to the very smallest of soft furnishing details, repainting all walls in bold or gentle colours as each room’s character dictates, restoring antiques and artworks, varnishing wood floors in certain rooms and laying thick new carpets in others, installing marble bathrooms and introducing modern heating systems that can be easily adjusted by guests to their particular preference, for instance, to ensure that refinement and cutting-edge functionality go hand-in-hand. Andover House is now primed for appreciative guests to head up its dedicated private drive, taking in the infinity parkland view as they approach the front door.
Well-positioned between Heathrow and Bristol airports, in easy reach of Paddington train services into Kemble and Chippenham and some 15 minutes from the M4 for good access from/to London, the south west corridor and onto the Midlands, the Charlton Park Estate is an enviable catchment point for guests from various locations seeking to pull back from fast-paced life and enjoy leisure, thinking and planning time in a timeless English setting.
