Grade 2* Listed 16th Century Manor House

The new owner approached Vincent Reed Ltd in May 2009 specifically to complete the internal timber restoration and to accurately copy and reinstate solid oak panelling to match what remained that was original to the property. Further restoration to interior doors and floors has since been completed by Vincent Reed.

The Thatched Cottage, with its date of 1390, is believed to have been the original home of the Chaloner Family who built an Elizabethan Manor besides the cottage.  Charles Kempe, the famous Victorian stained glass artist, bought the estate in 1875 and recreated a sumptuous mansion in Elizabethan style where he entertained lavishly.
