Eydon Hall

The house, built of ironstone, remains broadly as it was originally designed, with nine bedrooms and four major reception rooms across two main floors.

The top floor, with servants' quarters, is hidden from view by balustrades around the side of the roof, and there is a large basement.

[1] The site was originally occupied by Eydon Lodge, which was acquired in 1788 for £6,600 by the Reverend Francis Annesley.

[2] Eydon Hall was later owned by Colonel Henry Cartwright, member of parliament for South Northamptonshire from 1858 to 1868, who died there in 1890.

[2] Much to the surprise of the property industry, it sold within two months to video game developer Chris Stamper for £17m.
