Doors at Homestall Manor, West Sussex. The main entry door is said to be 1000 years old and was brought from a monastery in France. Much extended, the house began as a farmhouse and served as a hunting lodge for John of Gaunt, son of Edward III, as early as 1350. It would make a lovely home and has great entertaining spaces.
