The former home where Queen Elizabeth I grew up is currently on the market for 1,150,000.pounds, the eye of media.com has heard.
The splendid 8 bedroom house located in the civil parish of Shelton and Hardwick, near Long Stratton, proudly boasts 50 acres of grounds and five reception rooms, a superb breakfast and kitchen room, three bathrooms, a media room, and a range of small outbuildings and a moat.
The sparkling luxurious property is linked to th e second wife of Henry VIII, whose aunt married Sir John Shelton, and was governess to future monarchs Mary and Elizabeth, who spent three years living at Shelton Hall with the couple.
The Sheltons were a distinguished family, whose lineage presented the Magna Carta to King John and Sir Ralph Shelton was knighted for his services to Edward 111 at the Battle of Crack in 1346.
Unsurprisingly, Shelton Halls current owners have renovated the house so exquisitely, it has retained its original top quality.
The surrounding land and all 50 acres were initially going for 1.7m pounds, so the reduced price of 1.15m, is a deal for the lucky multi millionaire who buys this one.
