A piece of Grey history for sale

George F White is bracing itself for an influx of enquiries after launching a renowned period manor house, situated at Berwick upon Tweed, onto the property market.

Middle Ord Manor House, built in 1783, is a beautiful example of a Grade II listed Georgian country house, with a Victorian extension. Originally constructed by the Grey family, relatives of Earl Grey himself, the property also boasts a strong connection with Josephine Butler, the famous campaigner for women’s rights, who was also a member of the Grey family.

The manor remained in the family for almost two hundred years, until acquired by the current owners in 1979. Boasting seven bedrooms, four with en-suite facilities, laundry room, gun room and walk-in larder, it’s an ideal opportunity to play “lord of the manor!” Many original features have been retained, as have the original staff quarters.

Externally, within the courtyard are a range of outbuildings, two garages and coach house with loose boxes and granary above. Sweeping lawns, formal gardens, attractive walkways and woodland make for beautiful views around the entire house.

Middle Ord Manor House is on the market with George F White for offers in excess of £850,000.
