About this property
Greenwood Manor is a magnificent Grade II listed house on the Ashton Estate near Oundle, Northamptonshire, offering parking, characterful original features, and generous spaces for memorable group getaways. From the moment you arrive, the sense of occasion is unmistakable; this is the kind of place that invites you to play lord and lady of the manor for a few days, while still feeling welcoming for families and friends.
Step inside and you’ll find tasteful furnishings chosen to suit the home’s heritage, with details that nod to its story, from parquet flooring beneath your feet to handsome wood panelling and feature fireplaces that anchor the rooms with timeless charm. The sitting room is wonderfully spacious, with views out to the gardens and grounds beyond, making it a natural hub for long conversations, shared films on the Smart TV, or simply watching the light change across the lawns. When it’s time to gather, the dining room is set up for lively meals for eight, while the fully equipped kitchen makes holiday cooking feel like part of the fun, with a utility room on hand for all the practicalities of a busy stay.
Outside, the gardens add a touch of magic: wander across the lawns, settle in with a drink by the shepherd’s hut, or fire up the barbecue and stretch out the evening with alfresco dining on the patio furniture. Beyond the doorstep, the estate setting lends itself to woodland walks, nature trails, and classic outdoor games, and you can even make the most of the on-site pub and restaurant.
For days out, head to Elton Hall, journey to Rockingham for the history-soaked grounds of Rockingham Castle, or visit Duxford for the Imperial War Museum. Try Rutland Water which has something for the whole family as well as Nene Valley Railway, Wickstead Park and Hamerton Park Zoo. Greenwood Manor on the Ashton Estate near Oundle makes a truly standout base for exploring and celebrating together.
