Mulberry House

MULBERRY HOUSE was built in 1767 as a home for the local Squire. It took ten years to build and stands in 22 acres of landscaped grounds, which are enhanced by the lake, the only remaining part of an original Tudor moat. In 1788 the squire became the Rector of St Mary the Virgin in the village of High Ongar and the house was to remain the church rectory for almost 200 years.

The many trees that grow in the grounds include a Wellingtonia Fir, planted to celebrate the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, and the Mulberry Tree, which gave the House its name. The lake is home to our black swans, ducks and moorhens.

Mulberry House offers a striking combination of traditional Georgian architecture and modern, twenty-first century additions successfully combining the old and the new. The house is a constant reminder of the importance of strong foundations and enduring values and also the need for flexibility and innovation so necessary in today’s world.
