Iford Manor, Manor house in Freshford, England
The stone manor house stands on a south-facing slope of the Frome valley, featuring architectural elements from multiple historical periods spanning several centuries.
The property's origins trace back to the Domesday Book, starting as a wool factory under the Horton family before subsequent ownership by the Hungerfords and Chandlers.
Harold Peto designed the Italian-style gardens in 1899, incorporating structural elements such as cypress trees, statues, and water features throughout the grounds.
The estate opens its gardens to visitors from April through September, with the café operating Thursday to Sunday and the restaurant serving guests Friday to Sunday.
The manor's roof spaces serve as summer roosting sites for greater horseshoe bats, leading to its designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
