"A medieval Tudor and Georgian house that has been in the same family since 1679"


The fantastic house contains behind its Georgian facade, a wealth of Tudor and Mediaeval rooms and buildings.

The Old Hall was added in the 14th century, along with another tower.

In the 16th century, two projecting wings were added creating a typical Elizabethan manor house and in 1744, the impressive Georgian front was constructed to enclose an inner courtyard.
