Information

Crocker End House is a spacious, Victorian country house in Nettlebed near Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire. It was built to replace Nettlebed's prosperous rectory in about 1870.

The house was bought by the Duke and Duchess of Kent in December 1989, and they moved in the following February, having left Anmer Hall, their Norfolk home of eighteen years. The Duke and Duchess, with their family, used the house as their country retreat and in the early 21st century moved and sold the estate.

Former owner-occupiers are Lord Campbell of Eskan, and the Earl of Arran.

Grounds and woodland

Crocker End House sits in a plot of four acre: the east half containing the house is garden which has a tennis court; the west half is a woodland known as Crocker End Green, part of the larger Chilterns woodlands. Its grounds compare to the quite large mainly rural civil parish of Nettlebed.
