Stanlake Park has a 17th-century country house at the centre of the estate.[4] It was the manor house of Hinton Pipard[5] and was built by the Aldworth family, who lived there before becoming Barons Braybrooke and moving to Billingbear House.[6] They fought for Charles I during the English Civil War and, in 1646, Richard Aldworth founded Reading Blue Coat School.[7] There is a stained glass window in the house showing the date of 1626 and was presented to the owner by Charles I.
The Estate has a shop and bar and is open to the public 5 days per week as well as conducting wine tours.
