A stunning Grade II Listed moated house sitting in its own private parkland setting with gardens, woodland and farmland running down to the Roman River valley. Standing in approx 83 acres with three detached cottages. HISTORYThe first record of a house on this site was in 1463. A mansion house was recorded in 1638, built around the medieval core and encircled by the moat you see today. In 1730 David Gansel, an architect, acquired the property, re-fronted the house and built a model farm, including three matching buildings, opposite the house with pedimented gables being The Stables, Dairy and Brew House. He laid out a park and planted many Cedar trees, some of which are still standing. The house and outbuildings were restored in the late 1940's. The work included removing the high parapet at the front of the house which hid the dormer windows.Over the years many interesting artefacts have been found in the grounds, including a neolithic axe head and Roman coins and, when the moat was dredged in 1987, some cannon balls and hundreds of musket balls. The Lime trees lining the drive were planted to replace the elm trees that were lost to Dutch elm disease.SITUATIONThe Estate is situated outside the quiet rural village of Fingringhoe in Essex, just 5 miles South East of Colchester.
