Houghton Hall was built in the 1720’s by Britain’s first Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole, and it is one of the most impressive surviving Palladian houses in England, with interiors by William Kent. It is one of the seats of the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley who is the joint Hereditary Lord Great Chamberlain of England. Houghton Park is classified as Grade I and recognised as being of international importance. There is also the famous deer park with its population of some 1000 white fallow deer and small groups of ‘exotic’ deer. The Water House is a unique single storey cottage on the edge of the famous Houghton Hall deer park. Its very attractive sheltered courtyard garden houses the remains of the old treadmill originally used to pump water from underground to supply the Lord Pembroke designed Palladian style water tower and from there to the Hall. The Water House also benefits from a large, totally fenced mature garden directly adjacent and with wonderful views to the famous deer park. Approached by a quiet country lane, the cottage is in a very peaceful part of the 4,500 acre estate.
