A British manor house has been on the market for over a decade.
The UK's oldest continuously inhabited house is located in south England.
There are 10 bedrooms, six baths, and seven living rooms in the property. There is an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, tennis court, and a WWII air raid shelter in the building.
There is a walled garden, a meadow, and a moat on the 9.93 acres of land.
There is a lot of history at Great Tangley manor. It was once a hunting lodge for Prince John in the 12th century, according to the foundation's history.
The real estate company said that the dining room was given to the owner because of his contribution to the Crown during the Anglo-Spanish War.
According to an email to Insider, it has been visited by royals and historic figures over the years.
The company that owns the property said that Queen Mary, King George V, and King George VI left signatures on the windows. The etchings can be seen on the window of the dining room and on the window of the dressing room.
The real estate company said that Virginia Woolf once visited it as a child. It was claimed in 1913 that it temporarily housed an American heiress. The real estate company said that the mother of two stayed there for a summer and gave birth to a child there.
Over the years, the property has been updated with electric car charging points, air conditioning, and a glass box extension.
The head of the country department at Strutt &Parker said that the launch of the sale was just another moment in the building's history. It's very special to be a part of the process that is finding the next custodian of such an important piece of this country's heritage.
The house is a "brilliant example of building upon an existing structure in a sympathetic way" and could be used as a home for a family or portioned into wings to generate an income.
