According to agents Chancellors, the house was formerly a hotel until 2014, but it has the potential to return to a commercial estate.
The main house was built in the 1400s, and has retained some of the original features such as Jacobean oak panelling and an Elizabethan/Tudor ceiling in the sitting room.

Describing the inside of the property, agents Chancellors said: "The immaculate presentation continues in all of the bedrooms which occupy the top two floors.
(Image: Chancellors) "They are all very different in terms of size and features with a mix of built-in cupboards and wardrobes, some with en-suite bathrooms, window seats and vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and original brickwork.
"The option to return the manor house to a hotel is clear but the variety of rooms on offer also make this the ideal family home, perhaps even one for multi-generational living.

"The principle suite, on the first floor, is of a truly grand scale with an open fireplace, wood panelled walls, vaulted ceiling, three windows offering views out on two sides, solid wood flooring, space for multiple pieces of occasional furniture and a dressing room which leads through to the en-suite which features a bath, wc, hand basin and separate shower cubicle."

Oak Park Heights announces new mayor, available council seat
The city of Oak Park Heights announced Wednesday that Chuck Dougherty will be taking over the position of Oak Park Heights mayor after the death of Mayor Mary McComber in May. McComber served as mayor from 2012 to 2025. 'Mayor McComber left some big shoes to fill, but in this time of transition, I am committed to providing steady leadership and ensuring continuity for our community,' Dougherty said in the announcement. 'I look forward to continuing to serve our community with dedication, working alongside our Council, staff and residents.' Dougherty previously served as deputy mayor and has had a seat on the Oak Park Heights City Council since 2013. He and his wife also own the Water Street Inn and the Cover Park Manor Bed & Breakfast. The city council is accepting applications for Dougherty's vacated council seat through Thursday, July 3, according to the announcement. Dougherty and the new council member will serve in these roles until November 2026, when a special election for the positions will occur. Both special elections would be for a two-year term to finish the remaining terms of McComber and Dougherty. Applications for Oak Park Heights City Council can be found on the city's website at or at City Hall at 14168 Oak Park Blvd. N. As mayor, Dougherty will help plan for the 2028 closure of the Allen S. King plant in Oak Park Heights. The plant currently provides close to 28 percent of Oak Park Heights' tax base. When running for city council in 2024, Dougherty said one of his priorities was coming up with a plan to minimize the effects the tax base loss will have on Oak Park Heights residents.

Council of EU imposes steep tariffs on Russian and Belarusian agricultural goods
The Council of the European Union has adopted new tariffs targeting agricultural products and fertilisers from Russia and Belarus that were not previously subject to additional duties. Source: press service for the Council, as reported by European Pravda Details: The measures aim to lessen European countries' reliance on imports from Belarus and Russia, as well as to cut down on Moscow's budget and its capacity to fund its war against Ukraine. Furthermore, it has the potential to boost EU output. "The implementation of these tariffs will be closely monitored to ensure that the EU fertiliser industry and farmers are protected. The tariff increases on fertilisers will take place gradually, over a transition period of three years," the EU Council stated. With the entry into force of these changes on 1 July 2025, EU tariffs will apply to all agricultural products from Russia. The categories subject to the new tariffs cover about 15% of all agricultural imports from Russia to the EU as of 2023. For fertilisers from Russia, in 2023, the categories to which duties were applied accounted for 25% of imports in this sector, approximately 3.6 million tonnes worth €1.28 billion. Background: At the end of May, the European Parliament supported the introduction of tariffs for these categories of products from Russia and Belarus. These tariffs are expected to effectively stop the import of these goods to the EU. Tariffs on most agricultural products from Russia and Belarus have been in force in the EU since July 2024.

Lakeshore sets sights on tighter controls for greenhouse developments
The Municipality of Lakeshore is advancing new policies aimed at regulating the expansion of commercial greenhouses, introducing a suite of stricter requirements and studies intended to protect surrounding communities and the environment. During a recent meeting, Lakeshore Council voted in favour of modifications to Official Plan Amendment No. 18 (OPA 18), a long-debated planning document that outlines the municipality's approach to large-scale greenhouse development. The changes come in response to ongoing concerns from residents about the industry's rapid growth and its associated impacts, particularly in rural areas. Council's updated recommendations focus on placing new limits on where greenhouses can be built and require a series of assessments to better manage potential consequences related to odour, lighting, water usage, and infrastructure stress. While greenhouse operations have become more common across southwestern Ontario, Lakeshore's leadership has made it clear that proactive planning is needed to maintain the municipality's rural character and quality of life. If approved by Essex County Council—the upper-tier authority responsible for Official Plan oversight—the changes would introduce significant buffers between future greenhouse developments and sensitive areas. These include a 1,000-metre setback from all secondary settlement areas, a 550-metre setback from residential properties, and a 5,000-metre setback from the Hallam Observatory, a local scientific research site. These setbacks are part of a broader package of land-use restrictions intended to minimize disruptions caused by greenhouse lighting and odours—frequent complaints from neighbouring property owners. In addition to location limits, proposed greenhouses would be required to undergo several technical assessments before approval is granted. These include a master drainage study to assess watershed systems and mitigate erosion and flood risks, a water quality study to evaluate downstream effects during and after greenhouse construction and operation, and a financial and community impact study to determine how each project could affect local infrastructure and social well-being. 'Greenhouses have been a concern for many of our residents, and we're happy to see our vision for a comprehensive regulatory regime take shape,' said Mayor Tracey Bailey. 'While we have recognized that we are not able to stop greenhouses altogether, these measures ensure that our residents, as well as Lakeshore's rich agricultural land, are protected.' The changes to OPA 18 have been in development for more than two years. Originally submitted to the County of Essex in early 2023, the amendment has gone through multiple rounds of public consultation and revision. In February 2023, Lakeshore Council hosted a statutory public meeting to gather feedback from residents and stakeholders on potential zoning and planning bylaw changes related to large greenhouse farms. Following public input, Council directed administration to revise the policies to include stronger protections, such as eliminating odour and light pollution, enhancing waste management protocols, and expanding required buffer zones. Further discussions in October 2024 led to additional refinement of OPA 18. At that time, Council reaffirmed its stance against unregulated greenhouse sprawl and requested new components for the amendment, including annual monitoring of regional greenhouse trends, evaluation of future water main expansions, and an analysis of agricultural land values and market demand. Council also deferred a decision on whether to proceed with a greenhouse business park, a centralized zone where large-scale greenhouses could be clustered and better serviced by shared infrastructure. That study remains under review, with administration expected to report back after Essex County makes its final determination on OPA 18. With Lakeshore's endorsement now in place, the revised amendment returns to Essex County Council for a final decision. If adopted, the new rules will significantly shape how and where greenhouse operations can grow within the municipality. 'This is about managing growth responsibly,' said Bailey. 'We're taking the steps necessary to ensure future development in Lakeshore is respectful of its communities and supports our long-term vision for sustainable agriculture and healthy neighbourhoods.' A final staff report with updates on the potential greenhouse business park and future implementation timelines is expected later this year. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.
