Owner's Map of Ladner
Marv and Lynn Fraser of Heritage House Interiors as one of only four owners in almost 100 years and now along with Will and Barb Watkins of River Run Cottages would like to present the newly updated Handford House.
Even though the Handford House has had four owners and a number of face lifts in the past, it still retains much of the original design and finishing work. These are the accents that make the Handford House a warm and comfortable house to visit and enjoy.
Currently the house is managed by River Run Cottages as a two suite Vacation Rental with an onsite live-in manager. The two suites have retained the old time charm and are complemented with the period style furniture and furnishings by Heritage Home Interiors.
