Background

History

Hartham Park is first recorded in the Domesday Book, and was owned from the 15th century by the Goddard family. In 1790, following the death of her husband Commodore Sir William James, Chairman of the East India Company, Lady Anne James (née Goddard) decided to move from Eltham, London to Wiltshire. She commissioned architect James Wyatt to remove the existing farm house and redevelop the property. Completed in 1795, Lady James died before its hand-over. Although her house is at the centre of the current property, it is largely obscured or altered as a result of later developments. Subsequently, leased out, in 1800 it was the birthplace of Sir Alexander Malet, 2nd Baronet.

Visiting

Bought in 1997, Hartham Park was redeveloped into a business park. The main house and adjoining buildings enclose 90 sub-let serviced offices. In 2024 Hartham Park was sold again, retaining its role as a business park but introducing an on-site restaurant, the Forge and Pheasant, as well as facilitating the property's use as a wedding venue.
