Someone built a literal English manor in Pennsylvania and it actually rules

You usually expect Pennsylvania country homes to be farmhouses or brick colonials. Instead, you drive down a long driveway in Lancaster and find this stone fortress.

Out front

Before you even get to the front door, you pass through a gatehouse that looks like it was plucked out of Tudor England.

The driveway opens up into a paved courtyard with a six-car garage that has its own apartment upstairs.

The main entry is framed by carved limestone and leaded windows.

The grand entrance

Open the front door and you are standing on marble floors beneath wood paneling.

The staircase wraps around the room, leading up to a gallery.

Serious castle vibes

Just off the foyer is the Great Hall, which currently holds a pool table under a wood-beamed ceiling.

The back wall of this room is practically all glass, letting in light through rows of leaded panes.

If you want something cozier, the library next door is wrapped in oak paneling with built-in bookshelves.

Time to eat

The formal dining room features a geometric pattern on the plaster ceiling.

The fireplace in here has detailed stone carvings.

For everyday meals, there is a breakfast nook with a curved bench built right into the bay window.

The kitchen goes rustic with ceiling beams and plenty of prep space.

This wall of oak cabinetry is basically a dream setup for pantry storage.

Sunrooms and secrets

Then there is this sunroom, which feels completely different from the rest of the house with its Spanish tile floor.

One wall features a landscape mural that adds a nice pop of color.

Right off the sunroom is a wet bar, making this the obvious spot to hang out before heading outside.

Moving between levels is easy since the house has an actual elevator.

Sleeping quarters

The suite is huge, complete with another bay window.

The bathroom keeps it classic with a double vanity and patterned wallpaper.

Several other bedrooms are scattered across the upper floors, including this guest room.

Tucked away spaces

Up in the attic levels, you find extra living rooms tucked under the rooflines.

Down in the basement, things get rustic again with stone floors and a wood wet bar.

There is even a stone wine cellar hidden away down here.

The backyard situation

The back of the house opens up to a pool area surrounded by stone privacy walls.

Next to the pool is a covered pavilion with an outdoor kitchen, bar, and TV setup.

The property spreads out over twelve acres, including a pond surrounded by mature trees.
