Rare manor with links to Henry VII on the market for $4.7 million

An historic manor with links to the notorious former King of England, Henry VIII, has hit the market in the UK.

Listed as a detachable house, the stunning Elizabethan Hall with 13th century origins, is selling in South Norfolk for $4.7 million (2.7 million pounds).

“It is reputed that the Manor was settled on Anne of Cleves, the fourth wife of Henry VIII, as part of her divorce,” the listing with Savills Norfolk reads.

“The Hall was built on an “E-Plan” and until 1864 was still moated. The main house is largely unchanged in plan from its original construction in around 1600.”

The royals divorced in 1540, with an annulment agreed, after six months of marriage.

In recent years, the house has been restored and renovated into a nine-bedroom home without compromising the “historic atmosphere”.

The home’s kitchen features a four oven Aga, walk-in larder, and servant’s bells.

Next to the kitchen is a drawing room complete with a 15th century open fireplace.

As well as the historic fireplace, the property has oil fired central heating with separate second floor electrical central heating to radiators.

“There are two large additional bedrooms of historical interest with en suite bathrooms, and a further six bedrooms. Bedroom seven could be repurposed as a sizeable home office,” the listing reads.

The home also boasts a housekeeper’s sitting room which has easy access to the property’s garden. The grounds include a pool and tennis court.

“This country house is the perfect property for entertaining with an incredibly atmospheric great hall with a beautiful 17th century oak inlaid mantelpiece and a panelled Queen Anne Room with an early Georgian mantelpiece, moulded ceiling and French windows to the croquet lawn,” the listing reads.
