caption In 5½ acres: Liddington Manor, near Swindon.
"As may be seen from the picture below, trees form a feature of the 5½ acres of ground of Liddington Manor, at Liddington, near Swindon, Wilts. The property, which was available for £26,000 (Strutt & Parker/Farrant & Wightman), has a new owner.
"The manor is about the same age as Monteagle House and is a scheduled building. There are local claims that Elizabeth I slept at Liddington Manor in 1570 when she was delayed on a journey by the state of the roads. At any rate, until recent years there was a carved Elizabethan bedhead.
"The house is fully modernised and provides five bedrooms under its gable roof and behind its stone mullion windows."
