This country house is set in its own spacious grounds and was built in the 17th century for Sir Richard Spencer in the pretty Hertfordshire village of Great Offley. The village of Great Offley has all the charm you would expect from a pretty English village. It is reputed to be named after Offa, King of Mercia who had his palace here. Today it is an ideal spot for a relaxing break, conference or a special occasion. .
