Hunton Manor in Hampshire on the market for price of £14m
Listed for a price of £14m by Savills, Hunton Manor has plenty of features and historical background that may be attractive to buyers.
It is located in Sutton Scotney, near Winchester, and has leisure facilities including a swimming pool and tennis court.
The earliest mention of Hunton in historical documents is in a charter of Edward the Elder, son of Alfred the Great.

Savills adds: "In 909 he granted the manor to the Bishop of Winchester. It was mentioned again in the Domesday Book and again in the Norman Distribution.
"Later it reverted to the Crown, and in 1309 Edward II granted the manor to his son-in-law, Ralph Monthermer.
"For nearly 250 years it was in the hands of owners who were either connected by blood or marriage to the Sovereign."

The present manor house was built in the early 18th century and has gone through a few owners since then.
