The Alscot Estate has been in the same family for nine generations, originally purchased by James West MP to house his impressive art collection.

Alscot Park is one of the finest examples of Strawberry Hill gothic architecture in the country and they are passionate about sustainability. Alongside their target of achieving carbon-neutral status by 2050, they were also the first biodiversity project in the UK.
