Description
A substantial detached eight bedroom Grade II* Listed manor house with historic interest, outbuildings and views, situated in approximately 29 acres. Total 12,480 sqft, including the farm house and outbuildings.
An exceptionally rare opportunity to purchase a Grade II* Farmhouse which stands within the bailey of the castle of Ascott d'Oiley, dates back to c 1129 - 1150. Named after Robert d'Oilly, this was a traditional Norman Motte and Bailey which has scheduled monument status. Following a rebellion the keep was pulled down in about 1174 on the orders of Henry II and was never rebuilt. The castle mound and the bailey are still visible today as are the separately listed, Grade II, fragments of the castle wall and an ancient doorway now in the garden of the main grounds.
The current house features 16th and 17th century origins with numerous features synonymous with the period but including an early 13th century window surround which is thought to have been part of a private chapel.
