RARE medieval mansion featured in The Woman in Black is looking for new owners.
The impressive Grade II listed manor house with enviable views of the Chilterns boasts ten bedrooms, private swimming pool, tennis court and farmland for £6.95 million.
Better known as Long Crendon Manor, its recent history saw the filming of the 2012 horror hit The Woman in Black starring Daniel Radcliffe.
The manor’s medieval setting with original exposed beams and fireplaces was a perfect backdrop for the film that features Radcliffe as a young solicitor travelling to remote village terrorised by the ghost of a wronged woman.
The unique estate has links to Magna Carta.
It was gifted to the right-hand man of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings, Sir Walter Giffard.

Next owner, William Marshal, was one of the 25 barons who forced King John to put his seal on Magna Carta.
The Great Hall dating back to the abbots of Notley from around 1187 can host large family gatherings and parties.
Ten bedrooms, six bathrooms and six living rooms and library ensure guests and owners have plenty of space.
Long Crendon Manor was owned by three generations of the Dukes of Marlborough in the 19th century.
Lord Churchill held his manor courts in the Great Hall under his stewardship. A nearby pub, The Churchill Arms, is a nod back to this time.

Thanks to the restoration efforts of then unknown architect Philip at the manor, he went on to restore Chartwell House for Churchill and other landmark buildings.
As a cherry on top, the 39 acre grounds include an equestrian facility, a winter house with a fireplace, a maze with a fountain, croquet lawn, ancient trees and a charming vegetable garden.
For the past 45 years, the manor has enjoyed the stewardship of the same family.
