Lord it up for £21k per year

A chance of becoming the Lord of the Manor is on offer near Wolverhampton – costing a whopping £21,000 a year.

The six-bedroom Manor House in Shifnal, set in acres of stunning scenery, has been put on the market to let.

Budding "Lords" can now get a slice of the luxury lifestyle by taking up the offer of renting the house, which is set in its own woodlands and features a "secret garden" as well as four bathrooms, a grand dining room and farmhouse kitchen.

A large wooden table more suited to a church adorns the dining room and a roll-top bath with claw feet provides the focal point of one of the themed bathrooms.

But the cost of living like a lord doesn't come cheap, and letting agents Nick Tart is asking for £1,750 each month for the privilege.

The grand manor house, which is owned privately, has been put up for let with agent's Ironbridge office. An open day could now be pencilled in to give potential tenants a glimpse inside the historic house.

A spokeswoman from Nick Tart said: "It really is a beautiful house.

"If people saw it I am sure they would fall in love with it.

"It is large and really unusual magnificent property.

"Some of the rooms inside are out of this world and the grounds are beautiful with their own secret garden."
