Mansion with its own moat, nine acres and ten bedrooms on market for £2.25m – and owner automatically becomes a Lord or Lady
Sixteenth century Cudworth Manor near Dorking, Surrey boasts a wealth of period features
THE new owner of this £2.25million, ten bed mansion can really Lord it over everyone - as it is being sold with a title.
Cudworth Manor sits in nine acres and is surrounded by its own medieval moat and allows whoever purchases it to be referred to as Lord or Lady Cudworth.
The 16th century Grade II listed property near Dorking in Surrey is arranged over three floors with oak timber beams throughout.
Over the centuries the 10,650sq ft manor house has played home to Sirs, Earls, Lords and Knights but has more recently housed farmers.
Packed with period features, the sitting room has a brick, inglenook fireplace, while the dining room and reception hall have flagstone floors.
The oak staircase leads to the first floor where the dual aspect master bedroom adjoins to an ensuite.
On the same level are four more bedrooms and a games room.

It is accessed by a brick bridge going over the moat that leads to a magnificent solid oak studded door dating to medieval times.
A large terrace with dining area and a summer house is adjoined to the house.
Extensive grounds incorporate formal gardens, paddocks and a series of outbuildings.
Linda Wesson, of estate agents Hamptons International, said: "Cudworth Manor is a charming and romantically situated moated manor house in the heart of the Surrey countryside.
"Buyers are usually attracted to Manor houses because of their status and history, which is perfect because in this particular one the new owners can take on the title Lord and Lady Cudworth.
"The home itself is a wonderfully interesting and historic character property, rare in that it's moated.
"From a practical point of view manor houses often have large rooms with beautifully high ceilings and on large plots, just like Cudworth Manor."
