Yew Tree Manor
Yew Tree Manor is a 17th-century house that was once part of the Duke of Sutherland's Lilleshall estate. It is in the hamlet of Pave Lane, Shropshire.
Corbyn family
The parents of British politician Jeremy Corbyn, Naomi and David Corbyn, purchased the brick-built seven-bedroom country house, a former hotel, in 1956, when Corbyn was seven years old.[1][2][3][4] The property included outbuildings and a horse paddock.[3]
Jeremy Corbyn, Piers Corbyn and their two other brothers, who all grew up in the house, have been accused of "downplaying" the "splendid" home in which they grew up by describing it as an "old farm."[5][1][6]
The interior has four reception rooms, two of which were used as bedrooms by the Corbyns when they lived in the house, and five upstairs bedrooms.[5] It sits in 1 acre (0.40 ha) of property, with gardens.[2][1] It was put up for sale in 2015, with an asking price of £650,000.[1]
