The imposing seven-bedroom residence, named Rumwell Park, was constructed circa 1857 in the Rococo architectural style and sits within two acres of mature gardens.
The grand period property will be going under the hammer at a live online auction via the Hollis Morgan website on Wednesday, March 12 at 5.30pm. Bids can be made by telephone, proxy or via a computer. Interested parties should register for the auction by the deadline of 4pm on Monday, March 10.
Andrew Morgan MBE, auctioneer at Hollis Morgan, said: “The purchaser of this spectacularly elegant and gracious home will be able to satisfy themselves as they drive up the long sweeping drive that they are truly “To the Manor Born”. This period gem offers everything that one expects from a country mansion with a plethora of period features. The outstanding staircase is designed to impress and for grand descents into the hall to receive one’s guests, but this beautiful house is not just for providing memories of a bygone era, it also provides all the attributes for modern-day living, character, space, light and a country ambience that is ideal for a large or extended family or the opportunity to work from home. Not surprisingly these types of property can often have a commercial appeal as well, to be used as wedding venues, office headquarters, a small hotel or even a division into flats or individual units. This is, of course, all subject to obtaining any necessary consents. With a modest price guide, I am anticipating some serious bidding on Wednesday 12th March.”
A video tour of the property is now available online. Registration for the auction is a simple online process – visit the Hollis Morgan auction website and click the “Register to Bid” button.
