HISTORY OF LAMBTON PARK
Lambton Park has been and continues to be managed as a modern estate enterprise. The forestry, farming, residential properties and business park are all key to the fabric of the landscape.
A vital part of the Lambton family’s vision for the park is a future which combines conservation of its environment and preservation of its heritage. Alongside retaining this diverse working estate, supporting a vibrant residential and business community at its heart.
In 2016, approval was given to re-develop Lambton Park. Planning consent was granted for new homes, offices, retail and community space. Conservation works across the park will be funded by the development. These include work to restore the heritage assets including Lambton Castle, nearby stables and the iconic Lamb Bridge.
Owning a new home for sale at Lambton Estate will offer an extraordinary opportunity. Customers can become an integral part of a time-honoured tradition, the estate community, on a characteristically English country Estate.
