			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What you use your pension fund for is entirely up to you, but property traditionally has always been a sound investment. In this case, our client used a portion of that fund to build prestigious offices on existing farm buildings.</p>
<p>As part of the Lamport Estate, these <strong>grade two listed</strong> converted stone barns now house some fantastic offices with magnificent views across the valley.</p>
<p>Set next to the Swan public house that serves great food, and with its lovely pub garden, they provide a great place to work, as well as entertain clients or chill out on that warm sunny afternoon.</p>
<p>Lamport Hall has some fantastic history, which in itself adds a real kudos to these buildings:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lamport Hall was the home of the Isham family from 1560 to 1976</li>
<li>The first house was built by John Isham, a younger son from a Northamptonshire family, who made his fortune as a merchant</li>
<li>In 1655 his great-grandson, Justinian, commissioned John Webb, a pupil of Inigo Jones, to add an extension to the parlour-end of the Tudor house</li>
<li>The five bay section, an example of Renaissance-inspired classicism, is now at the centre of the garden front</li>
<li>Justinian&#8217;s son, Thomas, went on a Grand Tour in 1676 and many of the paintings he purchased during this time can still be seen at Lamport Hall</li>
<li>In 1732-40, Francis Smith of Warwick was employed to add wings on either side of Webb&#8217;s building</li>
<li>The remnants of the old building were swept away in 1819-21 when a new dining room was built on the site of the Tudor hall to the designs of Henry Hakewill. In 1861, the entrance front was remodelled by William Burn</li>
<li>The last member of the family to occupy the house was Sir Gyles Isham, an actor and historian</li>
<li>Sir Gyles left the house to the charitable Lamport Hall Trust</li>
</ul>
