luxury house for rent England, United Kingdom

Greystoke Hall, built for the Earl of Warwick between 1899 and 1903, was designed by the renowned architect Percy Morley Horder. With 10 bedrooms, seven in the main building and three in the self-contained annexe, and expansive reception rooms, sprawling across a vast 12,475 sq. ft, this beautiful manor house perfectly blends history and modernity. Greys Manor is an exquisitely restored Grade II listed Edwardian country home, set on acres of private grounds. The main house suffered extensive fire damage in 2010, but the interiors have been meticulously restored by the current owner to reflect their original grandeur. Accessed through a wide archway with wrought iron gates, the property features a tree-lined driveway with horse chestnut and lime trees that leads to a sweeping gravel forecourt at the front entrance. Upon entering, an octagonal-shaped porch leads into a grand lobby and the entrance hall, which opens to the main reception rooms. The grand hall, TV room, and sitting room are all connected by elegant double doors, creating a seamless flow of space. An inner lobby leads to a study and a south-facing veranda overlooking the lush gardens. The dining room and a beautifully appointed kitchen—complete with an original scullery—are accessible via a corridor off the main hall. Additional living spaces include a snug and other ancillary rooms. Another veranda, positioned off this corridor, offers sweeping views of the western gardens. Bedrooms include a magnificent master suite on the first floor. This suite occupies what was once three large bedrooms, now transformed into a grand oak-panelled retreat. Greys Manor is situated in a prime location near Warwick and Leamington Spa, both just three miles away.
