Turvey House is a Grade I listed country house, set in 150 acres of surrounding parkland by the river Great Ouse in Bedfordshire.

The house was originally built in the 1790s and then heavily remodelled in the early 1830s into the neo classical style as it stands today.

The magnificent house and grounds are available for exclusive hire for weddings, events and location shoots.
