A Royal Connection

Modelled on the original Buckingham Palace, Jasmine Manor is as regal as it is welcoming. Its story stretches back 302 years as a cherished private family residence, its rooms quietly witnessing the passing of centuries while retaining the grandeur of its first days. In a delightful nod to its aristocratic ties, several pieces of antique furniture were sourced from Althorp House, the childhood home of Princess Diana.

From the moment you arrive, the house’s honeyed brick façade, tall sash windows, and sweeping lawns create a sense of theatre — a setting worthy of the most special of occasions.

An Estate Designed for Celebration

Jasmine Manor has a remarkable ability to make every guest feel both at home and part of something extraordinary. Available for exclusive-use hire, the estate is the perfect setting for luxury weddings, milestone birthdays, glittering galas, or sophisticated corporate retreats.

The Great Hall serves as the beating heart of the house — a spectacular space for a grand dinner, elegant ceremony, or champagne reception beneath soaring ceilings.

Beyond the hall, a series of elegant drawing rooms, the Victorian Wing, and a stately dining room offer intimate corners for conversation and celebration alike.

For summer events, the walled garden bursts into bloom, while the ornamental lakes shimmer in the afternoon light — ideal for romantic photographs or a champagne toast at sunset. The tennis court, historic clock tower, and ancient dovecote add further character to the grounds, ensuring your guests have endless spaces to explore.

Luxurious Accommodation

The Main House offers 18 individually styled bedrooms, each a blend of period elegance and modern comfort. Rich fabrics, antique furnishings, and garden views ensure every stay feels indulgent. At double occupancy, the main house accommodates 36 guests in complete comfort.

A short stroll from the main house, two storybook-perfect cottages provide a further five bedrooms for 10 additional guests. With the addition of extra Z-beds, the estate can host up to 56 guests overnight, allowing wedding parties or family groups to stay together in one extraordinary location.

The Grounds

Every inch of the 38-acre estate invites exploration. Wander down to the lakes for a morning coffee, play a set on the private tennis court, or take a quiet walk through the woodland trails. The walled garden is a hidden gem — its sheltered charm making it perfect for candlelit dinners under the stars.

As the sun sets, the estate transforms: golden light sweeps across the lawns, the clock tower casts a romantic silhouette, and the house glows with warmth, welcoming guests back inside for another night of celebration.

Perfectly Positioned

Despite its peaceful seclusion, Jasmine Manor is just 50 minutes by train from London St Pancras International to Wellingborough Station, followed by a short 10-minute drive. Chauffeurs, luxury cars, and even helicopter arrivals can be arranged for guests who prefer to make an entrance.
