Overview
The house has strong links to Charles I who took refuge here in a priest hole from Oliver Cromwell (leaving his coat behind). Later, Charles II presented the Acton family with a fine portrait of Charles I, which still hangs in the Saloon to this day.
The house was sold by the Acton family in 1959 to the present owners, who have now made it their family home. The half a mile straight tree lined drive gives a stunning approach that has never been used for filming.
