Arriving via the long, sweeping, tree lined drive way – the entrance to The Downs School is spectacular and sets the scene perfectly for the arrival in front of the main house. With the option to have a drinks reception of the front lawn, back lawn or within the great original wood panelled hall inside the school, there is plenty of scope for originality and socialising.

The oldest part of the building is the East Wing, built during the reign of Henry VIII. The front hall is Jacobean (1603 – 1625) and includes a feature fireplace erected in 1624. In 1927 Charlton House was moved across the Clifton Suspension Bridge to the Tyntesfeld Estate to escape the “incessant roar of traffic” from the city. In 2002, the property and parkland were bought by Lord Wraxall for The Downs School.
