1 The Manor is a handsome Grade II listed residence, brimming with character and charm. Dating back to circa 1656, this exceptional property once formed part of Mickleton Manor, one of the most prominent buildings in the village, and was sympathetically converted into four dwellings in the 1980s. Constructed of striking Ashlar limestone, the home boasts a wealth of period features which, after a recent refurbishment, seamlessly blend with contemporary comforts.
The inviting entrance hall has stairs elegantly rising to the first floor and second floors and doors lead to the principal living spaces. The drawing room is a standout, offering a sense of grandeur with its impressive fireplace and beautifully proportioned interiors. Opposite is the kitchen/dining room which impresses with a thoughtful design that combines functionality with style. There are a wide range of wall and base units, topped with Quartz worktops, and a central island with integrated appliances, including an eye-level double oven, create the perfect hub for cooking and entertaining. There is ample space for a dining table, making this a welcoming space for family gatherings, while a door opens onto a delightful patio area, ideal for al fresco dining. A convenient cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor is designed for comfort and relaxation. The principal bedroom suite has built-in wardrobes and an elegant en suite shower room, while the highlight of this level is the drawing room, featuring original stone mullion windows that frame idyllic views of the gardens and beyond. This room offers a perfect retreat for unwinding or entertaining guests.
The second floor has two spacious double bedrooms, a family bathroom with a rolltop bath and separate shower, and a dedicated laundry/utility room. These spaces are thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of modern living while maintaining the property's historic charm.
The house is approached via stately stone pillars to a gated private gravelled drive, leading to a single garage and an adjoining studio. This versatile space holds exciting potential to be transformed into a home office, gym, or creative studio (subject to planning permission) according to lifestyle needs.
The property has two private terraces designed for relaxation and entertaining which connect to the property's expansive communal lawned gardens. These immaculate lawns with specimen trees, provide an ever-changing backdrop of seasonal beauty.
The gardens extend gracefully to a ha-ha, creating a sense of continuity with the surrounding pastureland. This clever design offers uninterrupted, breathtaking views of the countryside, blending natural splendour with the charm of a quintessential English garden.
The owners of the four properties at The Manor have an informal arrangement to share any costs relating to the gardens. We have been advised that there is a covenant on the property to prevent the property being purchased for short lets.
