Get my Free Venue ShortlistThe name might be New Place but this Grade I listed manor house, designed by renowned architect Edwin Lutyens and set in 32 acres of lush parkland, is full of period charm. Getting to us couldn’t be easier, with access from the M3 and M27 and nearby rail links to London. We are also set directly between Southampton, Portsmouth and Winchester.
As you arrive through the ornate wrought-iron gates, New Place never fails to impress. This grade I listed house is a true masterpiece of brickwork: a home that combines Tudor and Elizabethan eccentricities with subtle, modern touches.
Fittingly, the home was commissioned as a wedding gift, designed and built by the famous British architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens. He merged the interior of an existing 17th century mansion with his own signature style. The results are nothing short of spectacular.
To this day, the mansion remains a place of breathtaking beauty and historic grandeur, but also warmth and personality. Whether it’s your reception, your ceremony or both, we’ll make sure your day is as individual, exciting and memorable as you have always dreamed
