Ever fancied yourself lord or lady of the manor? You soon could be - for a mere £3million.
This Grade-II listed manor house has gone up for sale in the quaint village of Bitton in Gloucestershire, just a 20 minute drive away from the heart of Bristol.
Originally constructed as a hall house in the 12th Century, the property boasts five bedrooms, three bedrooms and even a garden room ‘perfect for arranging flowers’ - imagine!
The house was remodelled and rebuilt in the 1700s by John Wood II, the principal architect and town planner of Bath who also leased the house for a time.
Set in three acres of land, the Grade I-listed St Mary’s Church lies to the rear of the grounds, and a sweeping vista with an avenue of trees lies to the front.
