About

Greenstead Hall

The estate that is home to The Georgian Mansion has roots stretching back to the Domesday Book of 1086, making it a place of remarkable historical depth. The main house was built in 1695 and remodelled to its present Georgian facade in 1875, and today it stands as a stunning blend of period architecture and luxurious contemporary living. Grand pianos, sweeping staircases, elaborate ceiling mouldings, and chandeliers set the tone throughout, while modern additions — a heated indoor pool, sauna, hot tub, and air-conditioned gym — ensure every comfort is taken care of.

Exclusively yours from the moment you arrive, the estate encompasses 52 private acres of parkland, a small woodland, a lakeside with a rowing boat, and a vaulted flint stone event hall that brings real drama to ceremonies and receptions alike. Accommodation for up to 54 guests is spread across the Mansion itself, a charming Cottage, and 16 beautifully converted Stable Suites — turning your wedding into a full weekend of celebration with family and friends.

The Georgian Mansion sits just under an hour from central London, with Braintree the nearest train station and Stansted Airport approximately 24 miles away — making it a genuinely effortless destination for guests travelling from near and far.
