About This Property

Laleham Abbey, formally known as Laleham House has a fascinating history and is a landmark building within the local area, set in 7 acres of enclosed parkland grounds. The Grand Palladian mansion was originally built in 1805 for the 2nd Earl of Lucan and the adjacent mews formed the estate offices. The estate was sympathetically converted approximately 40 years ago and now forms a prestigious private development set in parkland grounds within the heart of Laleham Park on the banks of the river Thames. It is the perfect home if you want peace and tranquillity or are looking for a suitable lock-up-and-leave, as it is situated within a secure gated community close to major road networks, rail links and Heathrow airport.
