Part of the grounds were turned into a stud farm.

"Every attention to detail has been given to its complete refurbishment with the highest quality of craftsmanship used.
"The manor is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds and occupies an elevated position enjoying unparalleled views."
Property agent Crispin Holborow, who is handling the sale, added: "Probably the most magical setting of any country estate, Dinmore is also offered for sale in a condition most property owners can only aspire to."
Mr Dawes, sold his mobile phone business to O2 and has an estimated fortune of £110 million.
