A historic manor surrounded by stunning parkland designed by one of England's greatest landscape designers has hit the market.

Rivenhall Place in Rivenhall offers eight bedrooms, six bathrooms and five reception rooms, located at the junction between Western Road, Park Gate Road and Park Road.

The Grade II listed house with its Tudor origins, with its magnificent chimneys, has evolved over the years, most notably during the 18th century, when Sir Humphry Repton created near-perfect symmetry of the white stuccoed front elevation.

In recent years, the home has undergone extensive refurbishment, offering up-to-date amenities, surrounded by bright and welcoming accommodation, ideal for a growing family.

This includes a bespoke kitchen by Yeo Design with a unique sculptured style and full-length sash windows, opening onto the south-facing terrace.

The great hall with double doors opens up to a beautiful drawing room centred on a hand-carved fireplace and wood-burning stove.

The principal bedrooms on the first floor enjoy a special view over the Repton-designed landscape and woodland on the property.

The south-facing terrace is shaded by a magnificent cedar of Lebanon and offers a stunning view over the formal gardens.

A swimming pool with a separate jacuzzi and a well-fitted pool house is concealed by a mature yew hedge, offering privacy.

The property, which spans 46 acres in total, also includes two lakes, a vegetable and soft fruit garden north of the house, an all-weather tennis court, as well as a number of useful outbuildings, including a coach house, a machinery barn and storage rooms.

Adjoining the house is a three-bedroom cottage, which is currently let as an Airbnb, but could easily be incorporated into the house for additional accommodation.
