Stanstead Hall, once the rural seat of Catherine Parr’s grandfather and a property pawn in many a royal dispute over the last millennium, has gone on sale for a cool £6.5 million.
Parts of the 13-bedroom Grade II-listed Tudor Manor House in Essex date back to the 11th century, during the reign of Edward the Confessor, and in the intervening years the property has changed hands like Henry VIII changed wives.
