Lady Violet Crawley may call it a 'little cottage' but her grand mansion is now on the market for nearly £4million.

Byfleet Manor is a unique estate which has been home to numerous historic figures over the years, but to many it is better known as the home of Lady Violet Crawley, the acid-tongued Dowager played by Dame Maggie Smith.

For five years, Dame Maggie and the cast of the hit ITV show Downton Abbey have been filmed at the stunning 17th century mansion near Byfleet Surrey.

Byfleet Manor, as it stands today, was built in around 1686 although many details from an earlier Palace were incorporated, including the heavy timber staircase and several fireplaces

The 6,000 sq ft house, which has also been used in a host of other period dramas, has eight bedrooms, four lounges and 18 acres of land.

It boasts stunning period features and is owned by businesswoman Julie Hutton, who bought the house a little more than ten years ago for around £1million.
