Originally the dower house to Little Shelford Manor, the property was previously owned by Thomas Bacon, the British engineer, who developed the first practical hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells. Its present owners have lived there since 1978 and undertook complete refurbishment of the property when they moved in.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
