Lofty Manor

Arrive at this 16th-century, Grade II listed estate and embrace the feeling of stepping into another era. Right on the Anglo-Welsh border, you’ll be struck immediately by the traditional black-and-white cladding – head inside and marvel at the wood-panelled rooms, lofty ceilings and generous spaces including a large formal dining room. Where the interior is comfortable and stately, the exterior is primed for entertainment – take a dip in the private pool, watch as the kids play with the outdoor games and toys, or enjoy an alfresco dinner as the sun sets.
