What the vendors have to say about the history of the property...

Built in 1890, the 76 room Victorian Manor House, once a private home with grand entrance and a ballroom has documented evidence of Queen Victoria arriving in a carriage under the portico at the front of the house for a visit. The surrounding gardens once included a private swimming pool next door which has become a pool now open to the public. The house temporarily housed an Army Band School starting in 1926, it housed a family with two sons who served their country during World War 1 sadly losing their lives in doing so. The front common hallway boasts, along with an impressive sweeping staircase and a stained glass edged window, a touching tribute to the two brothers the residents recently elected to purchase two of the thousands of  glass poppies which had been installed in 2014 around the Tower of London in commemoration of the 100 year anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War. There, in the front hallway are the two poppies honouring the former occupants of Darrick Wood House for all residents and visitors to see.
