A rare opportunity to own a piece of history!

Ilgars Manor is a beautifully presented Grade 2 listed manor house set within 5.4 acres of gardens and paddocks.

The house dates back to 16th century. The larger part, with the classic red brick, symmetrical Georgian frontage, was built in the early 19th century.

There has been a property at this location since the 14th century. Previous owners include the cousin of William de Ferrers (the namesake of many buildings & places within the area). Originally the manor house farmed around 300 acres of land and used the river crouch to deliver the produce around the country.

Ilgars Manor maintains many original features including an impressive inglenook fireplace, large sash windows with original shutters and high ceilings.

The house contains spacious well proportioned accommodation with large sash windows which look out over the open field, enclosed by post and rail fencing extending to approximately 4 acres, which affords lovely views over the neighbouring land.

The grounds comprise of a large formal garden, 1 small paddock, 1 large paddock (approximately 4 acres), stable yard, 7 stables & tack room and a detached outbuilding commonly used as a hay store. Plans passed for a 40m X 20m ménage.

Access to the property is via the driveway to the front of the house, lined with lanterns, off Workhouse Lane, which offers extensive parking. A secondary entrance, found off Creephedge Lane, gives HGV access to the rear of the property and stable area.
