Thorpe Manor House has been recently renovated (and when we say 'renovated' we're talking new roofs, plumbing, landscaped gardens etc.) to bring this diamond in the rough into the 21st century. A labor of love that now encapsulates the modern heritage vibe of England's country estates today. Cozy nooks with plush furnishings, wild gardens, beautiful paintings. There is also coffee machines, cinema rooms, and cocktails! An exclusive wedding venue that is beyond luxurious.
You can see more of this amazing English countryside wedding venue by watching the romantic wedding film captured by Julia Semashko. It is a must see.
