Hyde Hall was originally built to house the Lord of the manor of the area in the 1300's, though since then it has survived a major fire and been expanded and renovated many times.
The large manor is located in what is now northern London, the main use of it by the previous host has been to host large parties for the greater London social circle. The perimeter features a large fence with a hedge, one of the features carried on from when it was a Manor house and which has been kept.
Hyde Hall is large enough to comfortably house several families, though fewer in resplendent luxury.
The house features a large main ballroom, which has been richly decorated over the years.
(( A maze, or other kind of plotting garden, as well as some grass fields. ))
(( Picture and description of ballroom. With description of lots of ancillery corridors, and adjacent receiving rooms. ))
(( Also features a dining room, though this is large but nothing to brag about. ))
