Property History
With links to William De Falaise, a trusted nobleman of William the Conqueror, this historical property is set within 2 acres (approx) of land which would be suitable for equine use. This stunning country residence is full of character, with exposed beams, wood paneling and stonework. Flagstone floors with under floor heating are more recently installed, even the fish traps which the Black Benedictine monks of Lonlay d’ Abbaye used nearly a millennia ago are still visible.
Priory Barn has been used for many things over the last millennium including accommodation for the monks, hospitalisation and sheltering of domesticated animals. In the 1400’s, the property was gifted to Eton College by Henry VI, before being relinquished several hundred years later.
