The Manor House is located in 17 acres of parkland with wooded boundaries and sits on the edge of the village of Wetheringsett.

The accommodation also provides several other buildings including a converted stable block, a cottage and two industrial units.


We pride ourselves in steering children in the right direction, nurturing aspiration to progress them both academically and socially to encourage them to take pride in their achievements.
