Welcome to The Manor House, a truly remarkable property that exudes elegance, sophistication and history. This stunning Grade II Listed Georgian Manor House dates back to 1730 and has been fully and sympathetically restored within the last 15 years, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural brilliance. This restoration included a double story extension in 2009 making the property wonderfully symmetrical, full rewiring and plumbing and a roof restoration as well.
Spanning nearly 6000 square feet over 3 floors, this magnificent detached home features 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, making it perfect for large families or those who enjoy ample space. Every inch of this residence has been meticulously designed to perfection, creating a seamless blend of classic Georgian charm and modern luxury.
The interior features are simply unparalleled. As you step inside, you're greeted by a captivating entrance hall that sets the tone for the grandeur that awaits. The Mark Wilkinson luxury kitchen, complete with a bespoke David Salisbury orangery, provides an exceptional space to entertain guests or indulge in culinary delights. The kitchen boasts beautiful granite worktops and multiple integrated Miele appliances including a full height fridge, two ovens, a microwave oven, a steam oven, a warming drawer, a four ring electric hob with two additional gas rings, a ceiling extractor and a dishwasher. There is also a large utility room with sink and space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer as well as a boiler room housing two Worcester combi boilers (these work in tandem with a heat exchanger).
The large drawing room with marble fireplace and log burner offers a perfect setting for social gatherings, while the study is an ideal sanctuary for work or relaxation. There's also a spacious dining room, a library, a cloakroom and a large vaulted cellar with three sections.
From the entrance hall, the grand staircase leads to the first floor where you'll find the primary bedroom which is enormous and benefits from an en-suite bathroom and a spacious dressing room. There are three more double bedrooms on this floor with bedroom 2 boasting a walk-in wardrobe and a four-piece en-suite and bedroom 3 and 4 sharing a fantastic four piece jack-and-jill en-suite with underfloor heating. From the beautiful first floor galleried landing, stairs lead up to the second floor where you'll find three spacious bedrooms, two with en-suites and the third being served by a family bathroom. All three bedrooms connect to a large sitting room, perfect for guests or teenagers to have their own space. There's also a loft room on this floor which provides fantastic storage and also houses the Megaflow pressurised hot water cylinder.
Further enhancing the allure of this property are the extensive outbuildings, spanning over 2300 square feet. Included is a new garage equipped with a hydraulic car lift, making this a fantastic workshop or ensuring your prized vehicles are securely stored. Additionally, the stone outbuilding with library/office space presents an exciting opportunity for an annexe or work-from-home space, able to adapt to your individual needs. It currently offers two rooms downstairs with underfloor heating and one room upstairs. A kitchenette and bathroom could be added, subject to planning, creating a fantastic annexe. This outbuilding benefits from its own heating system with the boiler located in the adjoining workshop. There is also a store and a gardener's loo to the side of this workshop.
Discover the development potential of the former stables, as planning permission has been granted to convert this space and create a first floor extension as well. This planning formed part of the original garage planning so is now valid indefinitely. Whether you choose to create an annexe, a gym, a studio or a party barn/entertainment area, this additional space holds countless possibilities. Step outside into the wonderful gardens, beautifully landscaped to create a serene oasis. A large raised terrace runs the entire width of the rear of the house, perfect for al-fresco dining and entertaining. Steps down lead to the landscaped garden which was originally the cricket lawn. There's also a second terrace strategically placed under a lovely stone and timber pergola with climbing roses.
A gate opens onto the rest of the plot which has so much to offer! There's a wooded area, 3 bee hives, a large double green house with shed, a wonderful kitchen garden with raised vegetables beds, a fruit cage and fruit trees and a tranquil duck pond at the bottom of the garden which adds to the ambiance. Enjoy leisurely strolls or simply relax by the pond, immersing yourself in the beauty of nature. With a sprawling private and secluded 1.38 acre plot, there is ample room for outdoor activities, gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Practicality is not overlooked in this remarkable property. Enjoy the benefits of Gigaclear broadband availability and CAT 5 cabling throughout the house and studio/office outbuilding as well as cabling laid to the stables, ensuring smooth connectivity for all your modern-day needs.
