"Bonfield" was built next to the old Radnor Hunt Club in the 1870's by the Clyde family. Many Fox Hunts were held here in the 1880's and later, until Radnor Hunt moved out to Malvern. Later maps show that the property was owned by Henry Breyer of the ice cream family. Henry Stewart bought the property in the 1960's and helped conserve this magnificent 24 acre property by restoring the original Estate House and keeping all the grounds in a charming and rural setting that is unparalleled on the Main Line today. This is one of the most private estates for sale on the Main Line today. It's proximity to schools and local areas of interest is one of its primary selling points.

The current owners have transformed the Estate House, Guest house, Pool House, and Greenhouse, Art studio & office into a family compound that is a quite special and unique on the Main Line. There are nearly 17,000 square feet of totally finished living areas in the four structures. The master suite contains over 1530 square feet in six rooms decorated to perfection with no compromises made. See rooms by clicking on Main Line Estate details.
