A rare opportunity indeed to acquire a property of such character & distinction complete with a local history with the manor in its entirety originally belonging to the De Knypersley family as documented within local history books. This privileged location is sure to impress by virtue of its architecture & the property's approach through a covered entrance under the Coach House, leading onto the courtyard where the magnitude of the surrounding properties are revealed.
