Description
The Manor House is a stunning Grade I listed country house in England, featuring Ham stone ashlar elevations and stone slate roofs. The property boasts impressive architectural features, including carved monkeys holding shields at the apices of the stone gable copings and stone stacks with carved interlace cornices.

The house also features a flower arranging room, boot room, cloakroom, and a spiral staircase leading to the first floor. The West Wing is a self-contained family home with a reception hall, kitchen, dining room, and four bedrooms.
