The Brewery with 5 ensuite bedrooms, has been created from the original brewery to the hall, and the adjacent coach house making a most interesting and exciting space. The original staircase leads up to the bedrooms which had always been there, now restored and all ensuite. The downstairs bedroom is ensuite and includes disabled use if required. The great estate at Bylaugh was acquired for the Lombe (later Evans-Lombe) family by Sir John Lombe in 1796. Although the details remain a little unclear, it is rumoured that he won it from Richard Lloyd in card game. Some say as the result of Lloyds butler drugging his wine. Sir John died in 1817. [However, more sane historians consider that it was exchanged with the Holkham Estate for land owned by Sir John Lombe at Holkham]. With no children to inherit the estate it passed to his brother Edward. Sir John's bequest included a large sum of money deposited in trust to be used for the building of a mansion on the estate. [A dream of his lifetime, a dream that he was determined should be achieved. A dream nearly destroyed. A dream regained]. After some years of little activity, the Court of Chancery instructed that the trust money be used, and eventually architects Charles Barry Jnr and Richardson Banks were commissioned to design a suitable house. William Andrews Nesfield advised on the position of the house, and was responsible for laying out the grounds and gardens. For More InformationVisit Property's WebsiteAmenities
