A country house steeped in history
Nestled within picturesque parkland and originally featuring a grand timber-framed mansion in the late 1600s, the site underwent a transformative evolution in 1762, giving rise to the distinguished Georgian manor house that stands today. In 1859, under the meticulous guidance of Mr. James K Colling for Major Gould, the estate was infused with the charm of Italian design, solidifying its reputation as a distinguished “Italianate Country House.”
In October 2015, Julia Pugh and her family acquired Garthmyl Hall, embarking on an ambitious restoration project under Julia’s meticulous eye. This comprehensive endeavour breathed new life into every nook and cranny of the estate, from the stable yard to the walled garden.
During the renovation process, builders stumbled upon a hidden treasure within one of the chimney breasts—a letter addressed to Father Christmas from a former owner during her childhood days. This heartwarming discovery added a touch of nostalgia to the project; fast forward to 2015, and the unexpected find took on special significance as the former owner, Mrs Christine Churchill, now in her 80s, joined Julia in re-opening the doors of Garthmyl Hall, infusing the present with echoes of the past and marking the beginning of a new chapter in the hall’s rich history.
