HUNGERFORD PARK

The 300-acre Hungerford Park estate was acquired from the Howard de Walden Estate in 2005, complete with planning permission for a 15,700 sq ft house.

Other than six tenanted cottages, the park mainly consisted of arable land let under a farm business tenancy.

Over the course of the last 20 years the estate has been transformed into a working farm complete with splendid gardens and woodland, farmland and orchards, furnished holiday lets and event space, and home to a premium thoroughbred stud.

Maritime Capital worked closely with the family to curate their loves and passions and create not only a family home, but also a business enterprise that supports sustainable ownership for years to come.

In December 2012 fresh planning permission was obtained to increase the footprint of the main house to 22,109 sq ft.

Maritime also oversaw the refurbishment of equestrian stables, the formulation of paddocks and the construction of equestrian facilities including a horse walker and lunge ring.

This work has helped to establish a profitable and respected equine stud enterprise. 

Under our stewardship other improvements at Hungerford Park include:

  • The planning and construction of 22,000 sqft of new farmyard and industrial space. 
  • The creation of a 'cider yard' - a home to local, authentic enterprise businesses.
  • The full restoration of an organic Victorian walled garden including the relocation of two 'groom residence' cottages and potting shed.  
  • The refurbishment and extension of six working cottages, creating a new furnished holiday let business.  
  • The planting of 3,500 apple trees to form orchards for home-grown cider production.
  • The licencing and growing of a cider and spirit business alongside a farm shop operation.
  • Registered licence obtained to create a wedding and events business within the restored walled garden.
  • The restoration and conversion of a 19th-century pump house into a new residential dwelling. 
  • The submission and management of an RPA scheme
  • Ongoing farmland and woodland maintenance
