Walk through the house and landscaped grounds of The Manor and you walk into history. There has been a manor house on the current site at least since Saxon times, when it is recorded that the landowner Ulfric gave Herringswell Manor to the Abbot of Bury St Edmunds.

Over the centuries it has played host to a succession of kings: the region was once under the protection of Earl (later King) Harold, Alfred the Great is thought to have had a manor house at nearby Freckenham, and both Henry III and James I are known to have hunted deer and boar in the surrounding woodland. The current manor house - a Grade II listed mock Tudor residence - was built as a private home with a large stable block on the site of the original manor around 1906, and has subsequently served as home to a religious community and a Japanese school (hence the presence of an oriental temple and garden features), both of which saw further expansion of the estate buildings. When the school closed, the property became available for conversion and refurbishment at the beginning of the 21st century.
