This expansive former manor house, dating back to the 17th century, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and repurposing. Once a residence for the Rolle family, it carries a rich history that includes serving as a convalescence home during World War I and more recently as an outdoor adventure centre since 1987. The building spans approximately 16,467 sq ft and is currently configured with numerous dormitories and staff accommodations.
The adjoining accommodation block built in the 1980s features commercial-grade kitchen facilities, making it ideal for future hospitality ventures or group retreats. Additionally, the property comprises a two-bedroom cottage formerly used as the manager's residence and stables equipped with several small bedrooms and bathrooms, providing ample space for various uses.
There are multiple outbuildings on-site that include workshops and classrooms, offering potential for further development or conversion into additional living or commercial spaces. The grounds feature parkland, a former walled garden with an old cob summerhouse, and woodlands — all of which could enhance any future project.
With Calor gas heating in key areas and additional oil heating for other structures, there is existing infrastructure while also presenting opportunities to upgrade systems to meet modern standards. Given its size, historic value, and versatile layout, this property holds significant investment potential for those looking to restore it to its former glory or create something entirely new.
