The Battle of Evesham was fought in 1265 in the grounds of this manor, and a tower and obelisk were built to commemorate Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, who was killed in the fighting. 
Today it is a quieter spot presided over by a Gothic manor, now divided into three homes. This enormous portion includes a beamed and vaulted drawing room, an orangery with views to the Cotswolds and Malverns, three bedrooms and a loggia, all set in 30 acres of parkland. 
Cost: £695,000.

ReplyDeleteSorry my dear, I already bought it. actually seems kind of cheap for what it is - doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI'd just like to have periodic access to the roof of the tower. Imagine the fun we'd have.
ReplyDeletethat really does seem inexpensive- i would get you a 2 bedroom fixer upper here (in a nice neighborhood, of course)...
ReplyDeleteA fascinating place to live! How great to live in such a historical site!
