KEY FEATURES
Steeped in history the original buildings date back to 704 AD surrounded by acres of woodland. Our Manor occupies numerous farm buildings in a large site at the north end of the upper part of Withington Village. On the north-west of the house is a square, cross-gabled dovecot, probably of the 17th or early 18th century. The estate has excellent equestrian facilities and hosts the annual Horse trials. There are rolling hills, sheep, barns (some old with fabulous beams, scruffy doors), vast hay storage, wood chip boiler, solar panels, stables – American barn style and courtyard style, plus numerous cottages, many with roses round the doors! Ancient woodland, a 30 year old plantation with 40,000 trees and wonderful rides dividing the sections, pond, water meadows, streams, hens and dogs!
ACCOMMODATION
Large living areas with exposed wooden beams, stunning graphic top high ceiling kitchen and 5 large bedrooms.
HISTORY
At a date between 674 and 704 a.d a monastery was founded at by Ethelred, King of Mercia, and Oshere, the Bishops of Worcester remained owners of the manor until the forfeiture of episcopal estates in the civil war. In 1648 the manor was sold to John Howe of Cassey Compton, already a lessee of the manor farm; he remained Lord in 1654 and presumably until the Bishop recovered his estates at the restoration. It then remained in the Bishops' possession until 1860 when it passed with their other estates to the ecclesiastical commissioners.
The earliest part of the surviving house is an l-shaped mid 17th-century building, partly ashlar faced, with twin gables on both the east and south facades. By 1883 the angle of the l-shaped house had been filled in, making a rectangular plan and wings had been built to the north-east and north-west. In 1927 the house, which then had two and three light mullioned windows with hood moulds, was extensively remodelled by R.J. Gunther. The projecting wings were demolished and a new range, as tall as the rest of the house, was built along the north side, adding an extra 18th century style bay to the east facade. The external details, including the string courses and most of the six-light windows, date from that remodelling, as do many of the internal features.
