Maunsel House, Grade II* listed building in North Petherton, England.
The stone-constructed manor features fishscale tile roofs, multiple wings added between 1772 and 1868, and stands within a 2000-acre estate.
Geoffrey Chaucer composed sections of The Canterbury Tales during his stay at Maunsel House, which dates back to the late 14th century.
The property maintains a collection of period features throughout its interior, reflecting architectural styles from different construction and renovation phases.
Maunsel House functions as a venue for weddings and corporate events, with a commercial kitchen designed for large gatherings.
The estate includes match fishing ponds stocked with carp, tench, and perch, alongside four self-catering holiday cottages for visitors.
