About Chelsea
Bent Oaks Manor was built in 1910. The Manor House is one of five Boxley family homes built in Roanoke, Virginia between 1890 and 1920. As the owners of the area stone quarries, the Boxley's were a prominent Roanoke family at the turn of the century.The estate consists of The Manor House, The Carriage House, and The Gardener's Cabin — all of which are original and have been recently restored.
