LUXURY MANOR LONDON AREA

MANOR - SWIMMING POOL - TENNIS COURT - HOUSE - UNITED KINGDOM

About

The original part of the house was built in 1910 and retains many period features including a once consecrated chapel with vaulted ceiling. The Manor was modernised and extended in 2006 doubling the square footage, adding a large open plan kitchen and extra bedrooms and renovating the outdoor pool and tennis court. The manor house is beautifully surrounded by large areas of parkland and tall mature trees which look out onto farmland. It also boasts its own original par terre and gazebo, several ponds and a wooded walkway. Tennis courts and a small pool give the property a modern touch.

The manor was once owned by the Bishop of London and has floor to ceiling gothic windows as well as original gothic arches in the grounds. In the 1960’s it was used as a filming location for Gerry Andersons’ science fiction series, ‘the secret service’, the exterior used as Father Stanley unwin’s vicarage in several episodes. In the 1970s the house was called Fox Den, probably due to the numerous foxes in the grounds and the manor house still retains many fox memorabilia namely a fox weathervane, fox motifs in some of the stained-glass windows and numerous fox ornaments left by previous owners.
