This majestic property had been part of the landscape for centuries and has been the residence of the current owner's family for over a hundred and fifty years.
The owner said: "The estate was purchased by my great great grandfather but the family didn't move here until after the war.
"At some point in the 16th century we believed it was commissioned by the Calvary as the paddocks are full of musket balls."
The driveway leads through a tunnel of trees, past ancient meadows, before arriving at the front of the property, which stands surrounded by a swathe of oaks, horse chestnut, beech trees and a rare Tulip tree.
