The Grade II-listed property has six bedrooms
A six-bedroom 17th century manor with an acre of walled gardens is on sale for just £150,000 – but there’s a catch. The Grade II-listed oak timber-framed manor house is situated in picturesque countryside.
However, it requires substantial renovation work. Official records from Historic England describe Burghill Lodge, which received its listing in 1952 and was re-examined in 1986, as being in a dilapidated state.
It is now marketed as offering an unparalleled restoration opportunity. Estate agents confirmed that planning permission is already secured for works to begin on transforming it into an enormous six-bedroom residence in Canon Pyon, near Hereford, according to Luxury Property News.
The property description states: “Burghill Lodge offers an unprecedented opportunity to undertake the restoration of the grand oak frame Manor House, creating an extraordinary family home of approx. 6000 sq. ft, with proposed six double bedrooms, four en-suites and orientated to overlook part-walled private gardens.
“Currently, the house is a shell, with its stunning oak timber frame stripped back, treated and supported by a scaffolding cover – ready for year-round work to commence, with planning consent.”
The property is thought to have served as the manor house for one of Europe’s largest dairy farms, but has remained uninhabited for over a century. It was deserted when the family constructed a bigger 12-bedroom residence in the vicinity.
