91-year-old Bedford Hills manor house lists for $12.5M

A 1927-built manor house, inspired by the ancestral home of the Earls of Essex in England, has hit the market for $12.5 million. Windrush, at 518 Harris Road in Bedford Hills, was designed to look like Cassiobury House, a country house in England built in the 16th century, according to Vincent & Whittemore Real Estate, whose broker Ghy Manning has the listing. Cassiobury was demolished in the 1920s, but Windrush uses “salvaged elements from the original Cassiobury,” including Tudor bricks, period doors and 18th century paneling. The mansion sits on approximately 24 acres of land and features a terrace and Gunite pool.
