This stunning Grade I listed Georgian country house also has its own Grade II listed, three-bedroom Gardeners Cottage and a Grade II* listed Coach House.

There’s certainly no shortage of room with this property, thanks to its twenty beds, twenty baths, seven reception rooms and a whopping 28.28 acres of land.
The grand looking property looks like something straight out of a period film set, which isn’t overly surprising, since the mansion dates back all the way to 1769.
