"Are you interested in becoming the "Wardwick of the North Moor"? What about walking the same halls as Geoffrey Chaucer, Alfred the Great, King John, and Queen Matilda? If so, do we have the property for you. Maunsel House, an estate in Somerset, a county around 130 miles west of London, has been listed by Strutt and Parker with an asking price of £3.5 million, or around $4.68 million."
"The 13-bedroom home also has multiple "unique" bathrooms, a bar (the oldest part of the house), a library, a ballroom, and a dining room. In its history, it has been used as a wedding venue, vacation spot, and filming location. Maunsel House has been the seat of the Slade family since the 1770s, but its current owner, Benjamin Slade, is ready to part ways with it - for the right price, of course."
Maunsel House sits in Somerset about 130 miles west of London and the current structure dates to the late 14th century. Local legend connects Geoffrey Chaucer to the house, and historical associations include Alfred the Great, King John, and Queen Matilda. The estate is listed for £3.5 million (about $4.68 million) and contains 13 bedrooms, multiple unique bathrooms, a historic bar, a library, a ballroom, and a dining room. The property has served as a wedding venue, vacation spot, and filming location. The Slade family has occupied the house since the 1770s; the current owner seeks a buyer after prior attempts to sell or give it away due to upkeep challenges. The house is on the open market for the first time in several centuries.
