The surrounding farmland and woodland offer a tranquil escape into the English countryside.
Those interested in owning a piece of history with all the modern trimmings will find Washenden Manor to be a truly unique offering. The £4.5 million price tag reflects the property’s historical significance, exceptional condition, and vast private estate.
