Jackson Stops estate agents have listed the grand property for sale on their website, for an asking price of £995,000.

Highlights in the listing include the "two storey high staircase hall" with a "Georgian oak staircase" – quite the entrance! There's a vast drawing room, a dining room and magnificent breakfast room.

The games room is another plus to the five-bedroom home which we are sure will be snapped up by a lucky buyer soon.

It has a wonderful history after it was built around 1720. As well as the Spencer clan, it was owned by the Raynsford family, and also once was a convalescent home for wounded soldiers during the Second World War.
