Besford Court in Besford, Worcestershire, has a history that began back in the 1500s when the original timber-framed house was built.
The Grade II* listed building has a large Tudor Gothic courtyard and a Lutyens-inspired waterfall staircase.
Up for sale is the South Wing, which contains the original banqueting hall on the first floor with no less than three stone fireplaces. It covers more than 70 feet and is divided into a drawing/dining room, kitchen and sitting room.
There are high stone-arched ceilings, stone mullion windows and deep bays.
The kitchen has state-of-the-art appliances and a glass breakfast bar while the worktops are polished granite with stainless steel sides and backs – a stunning contemporary contrast to the surrounding classic architecture.
A solid oak floor leads through into the study which has an oak stairway.
The bedrooms upstairs are elegant with vaulted ceilings and their own en suite bathrooms. The master is hexagonal with bays.
Mature, formal gardens surround the property and beyond this is a parkland. The 35 acres of communal grounds include a tennis court.
