A manor house in South Wales with a Neo-Grecian temple, an underground games room, 75 acres of peacock-dotted land and a tennis court has gone on the market for £6.5million.
The Georgian mansion of Glen Usk, in South Wales, contains eight bedrooms and six bathrooms as well as a drawing room, sitting room and tennis court.
In addition to the stone barn and water meadows, a 40-acre paddock can also be made available upon request.
The manor house was constructed in 1820 by Sir Digby Mackworth, the third Baronet of the Gnoll.
