Century-old English country manor-style home in Toronto going for almost $9M

If you've ever fantasized about hosting garden parties worthy of Lady Mary or sipping your morning tea in a sun-drenched drawing room like something out of Downton Abbey, this estate in Toronto's Rosedale area might just make your dreams come true.

Steeped in old-world elegance and whispering tales of a bygone era, this circa-1910 English country manor-style home is more than just a house—it's a whole lifestyle.

And a very posh one, at that.

The foyer. 

From the moment you stroll up the extra-long, cobbled granite driveway, the tone is set: you're not just arriving home – you're making an entrance.

The family room. 

Set well back from the street on a lush, 71-by-150-foot lot 22 Binscarth Rd. radiates timeless English charm, the kind you'd expect to find deep in the English countryside, not steps from downtown Toronto.

The dining room. 

Inside, the home boasts gracious principal rooms, leaded windows, and effortless sophistication.

The living room. 

The home sprawls over 4,100 square feet above grade, with another 1,200 below, offering plenty of space for everything from formal entertaining to cozy movie nights with the family.

The primary bedroom. 

22 Binscarth Rd. has five bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Another bedroom. 

There's also two home offices (ideal for modern-day earls and countesses working remotely), and an abundance of charm. 

The kitchen. 

There are wood-burning fireplaces, beautiful moulding, and a bright, eat-in kitchen where you can imagine a copper kettle perpetually whistling.

The family room opens to the backyard. 

As for outdoor space, there isn't a sprawling lawn like one might expect with traditional English manors. 

The backyard. 

But don't be too disappointed, the backyard is straight-up summer goals. With its L-shaped in-ground pool and expansive patio, it's perfect for poolside lounging or the kind of soirée where you'd serve Pimm's Cups and wear something linen.

A bedroom. 

And of course, this posh home is located close to some of the city's top-tier schools. 

A den. 

So if you've ever longed for a life with a touch more refinement (and maybe just a hint of British drama), this enchanting estate might be the perfect house.

The living room. 

Just don't be surprised if you catch yourself referring to the living room as "the drawing room" from now on.

The back of the house and the garage. 

22 Binscarth Rd. is listed for $8,800,000.
