NOTTINGHAMSHIRE Manor Lodge, Worksop

LG II* Offers invited for over £250,000

It is very sad to have to relate that this extraordinary house which is attributed to the architect Robert Smythson now returns having been severely damaged by yobs who set fire to it on the third floor. This stunning Elizabethan house which appears very modern is set over five storeys. It is formidable in appearance with a large arched window that appears to rise from the first floor and into the second, together with a broader rectangular window, perhaps with bricked in mullions to the sides and top lying on the third floor (banqueting hall) and into the fourth. 
The house is now surrounded by scaffolding worth £130,000 which is available by separate negotiation. This house deserves to be rescued, but now requires a huge amount of work.
It was being offered for sale for £895,000. I have mentioned the land but this may or may not be available.
Ground floor: Entrance vestibule, reception hall, cloakroom, study, sitting room, dining room, breakfast/kitchen, laundry, boiler room, former dining room with stone flag floor, side hall.  First floor: Landing, two bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom,
another with en-suite shower, loo, another landing.
Second floor: Three bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom, the other with en-suite shower, another landing.
Third floor:  Banqueting hall, landing, three bedrooms.  Fourth floor: Main landing, two bedrooms.
Fifth floor: Tank room.
Outside: Derelict stone cottage, formal grounds and parkland, orchard, paddocks, some other outbuildings. In all about 7 acres.
