Having been a popular hunting site in Tudor times it has distinct connections with Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI and Queen Mary. Thought to have had a hunting lodge settlement where the current house lies on its grounds during the Tudor dynasty. Yarner’s royal British history ended in the 15th century, as the land, owned by the Crown was sold on in 1578 by Elizabeth I. The building of the current Yarner Manor started in 1630 and finished in 1678 by Moses Stoneham. Yarner changed hands many times throughout the subsequent centuries but having bought the estate in 1964, the current owners have kept it as a family for over 50 years. The unusual architecture of the house gives it character and charm; the battlements emanate that of a French chateau. This has further relevance because the word Yarner was derived from the Aquitaine French for “where the eagles soar.” Fitting because the buzzards that glide over Yarner and our surroundings are plentiful, their sound is never too far away. 5 Lot 1 YARNER HOUSE AND ESTATE On arriving at the Grade II listed Yarner wonderfully flexible space that is ideal for charming period summer house which has House, it is easy to see why this site was entertaining.
