Founded in 1623
Rustic Manor began as a hunting lodge for a minor Tudor nobleman, its stone walls built from locally quarried limestone and oak timber from the surrounding forests.
Over the centuries, the estate grew to encompass 500 acres of pristine English countryside, including ancient woodlands, manicured gardens, and a private lake fed by natural springs.
Today, the manor retains its historical character while offering modern comforts, making it a sanctuary for those seeking an authentic connection to England's rural past.
