A charming Grade II Listed detached manor, with a versatile layout and period elegance, positioned within 1.2 acres of beautiful gardens in the core of an attractive village

Description

The Manor House is a charming Grade II Listed detached residence. It is positioned within a generous plot of approximately 1.2 acres, and offers in excess of 4,000sqft of accommodation. With a versatile configuration that offers up to seven bedrooms, which includes those within a ground-floor wing, the property is thought to have potential for a self-contained annex. It is offered to the market with no onward chain.

The listing suggests that the property dates back to the 1600’s, with extensions in the 1880s, and interestingly has now been in the same family's ownership for 70 years and two generations. It offers a wealth of period character and charm throughout, including carved stone mullion windows and ornate original fireplaces, sold wood floors and high exposed beamed ceilings, coupled with a versatile layout for families that need to combine home and work, or generations.

The well-presented accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hallway with cloakroom, a cosy snug, a farmhouse style kitchen with adjoining scullery and utility room, an elegant dining room, a drawing room and a library. At first floor level, the wide solid wood floored landing corridor leads to five generous double bedrooms, three with en suite facilities, and a main family bathroom.

From the ground floor, a connecting hallway leads through to the property's former stables, which have been converted to offer a second entrance hall, with two further ground-floor double bedrooms and a bathroom, with a first floor games room and home office. This wing is thought to have potential (subject to any consents required) for the creation of a self-contained annex, if desired.

Outside: The property is set back from the the village's road within partially walled private gardens of approximately 1.2 acres. Approached through double gates to an extensive gravelled drive and parking, the delightful and well-maintained gardens lie principally to the south of the house. They offer sweeping lawns, with deep flowering, rose and heather borders, with mature trees, beneath which there is a sea of bulbs in spring, and hedging afford fabulous privacy.
