Jaws are certain to drop as you drive up to your sumptuous manor house, and once inside, you’ll discover plenty of beautifully decorated spaces for everybody to relax in their own way.

Chill out in the lounge, with its open fire, wall-mounted Smart TV, and soothing views to the garden, or retire to the formal drawing room, for in-depth conversation surrounded by grandeur.

Bring everybody together at mealtimes, whether you’re whipping up a feast in the AGA-equipped kitchen, to be served in the sophisticated dining room, or sizzling your supper on the barbecue. There’s even a large, furnished wooden barbecue hut for everybody to enjoy those juicy burgers and cocktails in – so there’s no need to stand around, awkwardly trying to balance both in your hands!
