SELECT PROPERTY Nestled in the valley of the historic village of Barrow-on-Trent is The Manor House. Built in 1775 by the prominent Sale family, who maintained ownership for more than 100 years. This unique and imposing country home was once inhabited by Sir Francis Ley, during the period in which he built the famous Baseball Ground, once home to Derby County Football Club. The Manor House stands in beautiful grounds with far-reaching views over local countryside to the Trent Valley and the river beyond and has been maintained and much improved by the current owners. This stunning home has been in the same family for decades and is one of the region's most outstanding properties.
The internal accommodation is as impressive as the exterior, with a feature reception hall incorporating period staircase; beautiful drawing room with sash windows and double doors overlooking the grounds and views to the river beyond. An internal hallway provides access through an open arch to a magnificent, bespoke fitted dining kitchen with a range of units, high quality worksurfaces and a stunning back-lit quartz splashback. The kitchen is enhanced by integrated Gaggenau appliances including drinks-chiller and pop-up extractor. The ground floor also provides a spacious utility room with fitted units, cloakroom/WC, cloaks store and an orangery to the side elevation.
Originally The Apartment was integrated into the main body of this stunning home and, if desired, access could be gained through the cloaks cupboard to rejoin the separate annex, which briefly comprises: Entrance porch; hallway; living room with double doors opening into the spacious master bedroom with wet room facilities; second bedroom; modern fitted kitchen; good-sized bathroom.
To the outside, the property is no less impressive, with a beautiful walled formal garden with lawn and low privet hedge, making the most of the fantastic views. To the rear is a secondary garden space with patio, lawn and large store shed along with a further courtyard with workshop. Parking is provided to the side elevation with ample space for several vehicles, along with a good-sized garage located in nearby block.
