Built in 1729, the manor has recently undergone a substantial renovation and refurbishment.

Now, the home provides what the estate agents have called "superb modern family accommodation amidst many period features".

Such features include an early 18th century staircase, deep sash windows, oak beams and original fireplaces, while the modern refurbishment means the home's lighting, temperature and entertainment features are all controlled remotely through a mobile phone.

There's an array of outbuildings too, including garaging, workshops and storerooms. 

The listing, by agents Knight Frank, said: "Ford Hall is a handsome Grade II-listed Georgian country house which has recently undergone complete renovation and refurbishment in order to offer generous accommodation.
