Lawn House is one of the two principal wings of Inverforth House.

Offered for sale in pristine decorative condition, Lawn House offers an abundance of lateral living space over basement, ground, mezzanine and first floor levels. The spectacular mansion combines palatial and contemporary living spaces with several outstanding period features including ceilings up to 4.6 metres high, listed oak wall panelling and opulent ceiling mouldings in the drawing-room and striking marble pillars and marble-covered walls throughout the grand main hallway and reception lobby.

The pillared marble reception lobby with ornate ceilings leads into the grand staircase hall, built by Lord Leverhulme which has a cantilevered curved stone staircase which soars up through the mansion, surmounted by a glazed cupola which allows natural light to cascade down into the hall and lobby below.

From the hall glass double doors lead into a stunning reception room and dining room with tall windows, a polished floor and a high coffered ceiling, which was originally the ballroom where Lord Leverhulme and Lord Inverforth entertained Royalty, famous politicians and members of high society. The former ballroom leads into a second grand reception room, used as a drawing-room, with parquet flooring, oak-panelled walls and an ornate ceiling.

The ground floor accommodation is complete with a double-height galleried library/study, family kitchen and breakfast room with central island, utility room, an art deco style cinema, guest powder room and private lift.
