WINFORTON Court is a fine example of an Hshaped timber framed and stone manor house which dates back to the 1500s.

The house is of great historic importance and was once part of the estate owned by Roger de Mortimer, one of the Marcher earls, and was used as a manorial court.

The property retains an abundance of individual features, such as the fivefoot wide oak front door, reputed to have originated from the once Eardisley Castle, numerous original oak timbers with chamfered edges, carpenters marks and candle scorch marks and decorative hand painted detail.

The house offers highly flexible, well presented family accommodation and has featured in several interior design magazines.

It offers great potential to produce an income from functions, gallery space, etc, combined with the letting potential of the separate two bedroomed cottage within the grounds.

The village has a church and a popular pub, with more in the way of facilities at Eardisley (two miles away) and Whitney (one mile). It sits on the northern edge of the Wye Valley in an area of high scenic value with wonderful country walks nearby.

The property is set back from the main road behind high walls and hedges.

To the front of the house is a formal garden with a series of paths and lawns with well established beds within a stone walled boundary.

To the rear is a walled courtyard and arched doorways lead to a large lawned garden.

A further enclosed lawned fruit garden contains a variety of old-style fruit trees, such as sheep’s nose and cats head apple trees.
