Property Description

Hill House is one of the most substantial and historical houses in Manningtree and has a fascinating history, understood to be one of the first major houses to be constructed in the Town and surrounding areas as early as 1500's.

To both sides of the house are smaller houses, which were originally the servants' quarters, and a series of rope operated bells were used over the centuries to summon the staff. Other historic points of note are 'the priest holes' and a 'hidden room' it is understood the during turbulent times in the history of Eastern a succession of catholic and protestant clerics hid from the enemy there.

Its original structure believed to be early Tudor, constructed as wooden-framed Manor house and the original structure is still intact and can be seen encased in a glass viewing panel inside the house. Over the years the original Tudor structure was encased in a typical Georgian design brick house, further additions to the house during the 19th Century included a kitchen and outhouses.

The interior of the property has been tastefully designed in keeping with the age of the property, and comes part furnished with new beds in a couple of the rooms plus dining room furniture.
