General information
Westoning Manor was built around 1842 for the new Lord of the Manor. It was listed as Grade II in 1985 and many notes were made that the \"interior contains much 17th century carved woodwork combined with 19th century work in ground and first floor doors, door cases, and chimney-pieces, as well as in the imperial staircase. The 17th century woodwork is \"reputed to come from old house at Wrest Park and old Houses of Parliament\". In 2000 it was converted into 6 luxury apartments which enjoy a share of the landscaped and maintained grounds which extend to around ***** acres and adjoin the countryside giving far reaching views.No. 1 is the largest apartment which is duplexed and has some of the original 'formal rooms' thus creating a home of immense style and spacious proportions. The present owners fell in love with the feeling that the property gives, it is homely yet really rather grand. Ideal for a buyer who values a top notch location, wants space yet isn't 'room counting'.The period features are striking and include very high ceilings, many with beam work, there are original fireplaces and ornate carving.The rooms are light and some dual aspect and this home is in excellent decorative condition and beautifully presented.

Tenure
The 6 apartments of the Manor House have equal share in the freehold which was purchased around 5 years ago. There is still a 'lease' which has approximately 995 years remaining. The 6 owners are part of a residents company. The monthly service charge is £150 which covers items such as the building insurance, gardening for the shared grounds, entry phone system etc. We would advised that a buyers legal representation seek out full details of the lease etc and any further costs.
