Lifestyle and furniture retail brand, Neptune has opened its latest partner store in collaboration with The Georgian House.

Set within a Grade II listed Georgian manor house which was built for a lawyer in 1728, the incredible new store showcasing a range of Neptune's products is just a stone's throw from the iconic Ludlow Castle.

The manor house's ground floor has been transformed into a dedicated design studio featuring their Suffolk and Chichester model kitchens, a flower shop and living spaces.

Neptune said it worked with a team of conservationists to ensure that many of the manor house's original features have been preserved and to create a store where history and contemporary design converge to create a home-from-home feel for customers.

But, alongside the design studio, owner of the building, Sarah Manser has transformed residential areas on the floors above into three holiday lets/apartments. 

Each has been fully decorated with Neptune products and function as 'live-in showrooms' where guests are able to buy items they see and use.
