Originally built in the early 1700's, the estate at Felix Hall was built in the tradition of a Palladian Mansion along with its collection of estate buildings which occupy the grounds. The estate was purchased by the Weston family in 1793 and was significantly altered in the early 19th century, possibly on the occasion of Charles Callis Weston's ennoblement as Lord Weston of Rivenhall. However, as with many larger houses, a reduction in size was thought prudent and so the estate buildings such as the Orangery were removed and have been separately converted enhancing the overall appeal of this once grand estate.

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.

The nearby villages of Great Horkesley, Nayland and Stoke-by-Nayland all have excellent local facilities including various shops, post offices, a doctors' surgery and public houses/restaurants.

The Westwood Estate was developed by the Lynne family in the seventeenth century, with Westwood Park built in 1692. In 1906 Captain Hill extended the house and refashioned the house in the Jacobethan style.Westwood Park is a red brick house with stone dressings and red clay tile roofs and is characterised by its Dutch gables, octagonal chimney stacks and mullioned and leaded windows. The house is in a secluded location which cannot be viewed from the road and is situated within a series of walled gardens and lawns in excess of 10 acres, with the larger historic parkland beyond. The 18th century ornamental gardens or 'Pleasure Grounds' are located to the north of the site, and a terrace extends along the western side of the house facing the west lawn. This lawn is shaded by a number of mature trees, most notably a large Cedar of Lebanon which occupies a central position. A gate reputedly from Dick Whittington's London home leads into a wilderness garden which runs alongside the 18th century ornamental lily pond containing koi carp.Internally the house benefits from an exceptionally large, panelled hallway and entertaining area, with a historic oak staircase and galleried landing leading to the principal bedrooms.
