Geräumiges Haus mit großem Garten auf privatem Landgut

Century House is situated just outside the entirely private and gated Estate village of Perlethorpe, situated at the heart of Thoresby Estate. Thoresby was one of the four country Ducal Estates which gave the nickname Dukeries to the area due to the high number of Dukes who lived in the area, and is still owned by the Pierrepont family today. Century House was built in 19th Century and was traditionally home to the Estate Land Agent with the last Agent leaving in 2019.

Century House boasts an elevated position with large gardens with extensive views over grazing Parkland across to the village of Perlethorpe.
