About Russell House
Russell House is a traditional Northamptonshire ironstone house and was originally built in 1714 as the surgeon’s house for the village of Flore and later became the dairy farm for the village.
Russell House
Russell House has a charming, sheltered courtyard, paved in brick stone and cobbles with a raised heuchera bed and mature acers. Wrought iron gates open to the fully walled garden beyond with surrounding herbaceous borders. Central to the lawn is a tiered fountain in a circular box border.
