Magnificent House & Grounds
This magnificent house and grounds has been brought to its current glory by the Saunders family who enjoy it as their English residence and have now made it available for others to enjoy. Ladywood, a former hunting lodge on the outskirts of Rutland, has long been recognised as host to some of the best parties and gatherings and has been connected with the famed Cottesmore Hunt for centuries. It's grounds have been meticulously landscaped with sweeping lawns and formal Topiary, and the deciduous wood which gives the house its name, provides the perfect backdrop for the magnificent Chelsea Dragons. Set in rolling countryside with no other property in sight, you can enjoy breathtaking scenery in total privacy. Ladywood is not just a country house address, it is part of the country life history and is recognised world-wide by people in the know as "the hunting lodge" where Royals and Dignitaries have enjoyed the escape of the setting.

The Saunders family would like you to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and sheer luxury as if it was your own.
