Description

Horwood House lies 0.5-mile south east of the village of Little Horwood in Buckinghamshire. This Grade II listed building mansion is a comparatively modern house, built in 1911, the date being embossed into the gutter hopper-heads. Today it is a hotel and conference venue, owned and operated by ZIZ Properties Ltd.
It was built for Frederick Arthur Denny and designed in a refined Jacobean style by the architects Blow and Billerey. It is built on the site of the former Old Horwood, a 300-year-old farmhouse previously known as Rectory House. Old Horwood was a building of late sixteenth-century construction, consisting of two storeys and an attic, with walls of timber and brick, which a Colonel Daucy occupied for a period and local folklore suggests that his ghost haunts the present house. It was extended in the later seventeenth century, and enlarged in the nineteenth century. When the estate was purchased by Denny it consisted of 482 acres , two farms, eleven cottages, the village hall, parkland and woods. The purchase of the estate made the owner the Lay Rector or patron of St Nicholas' church, Little Horwood.
