About the host
Hosted by Lawson
I’m a retired pharmaceutical CEO and, together with my partner, Michael, renovate neglected properties and gardens. We have full restored the Mansion to its magnificence and we love to share this beautiful property with our guests. We are both keen gardener’s and I’m originally from Scotland so the new gardens reflect a British cottage garden style. We have cleared brush from the water meadow to allow sweeping lawns leading to historic French Creek, the creek was used to power the forge in 1700
Why they chose this property
The bucolic location allows us to enjoy Chester County’s glorious fauna yet the property is only minutes away from numerous restaurants, shopping and historic sites
