Baldwin House is an impressive Grade II* listed 15th century manor house with later 16th, 17th and 18th additions, which is constructed on a former moated site, known to have been associated with the Baldwin family in the 13th century. Many of the ground floor cross-framed casements windows still retain much of the original glass, whilst the original first floor sills to the 15th century windows have been preserved. The property is particularly noteworthy for its mouldings, which are connected with the heraldic devices of the Baldwin family.

Period detailing is very prominent and yet the property provides a charming, warm and inviting 5 bedroom family house, with 1 bedroom, self-contained annexe and many useful outbuildings, all within a beautiful setting approaching 4 acres.
