Description:

The Manor Farm, having been a family home to the current owner for over fifty years, has potential in abundance.

Moving through the property, passing the under stairs cupboard, the kitchen has beautiful views across the grounds and countryside beyond. With built in fridge-freezer, dishwasher and oven there is also ample storage within the cabinetry and plenty of preparation space.

The rear hall opens onto the dining terrace, there is also a large ground floor shower room with a bank of built-in storage and a separate utility-cum-workshop with access to the driveway and lean-to, as well as plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer.

A third, dual-aspect, reception room completes the ground floor of The Manor Farm, boasting views over the lake and a feature fireplace.

Rising to the first floor, the light and bright landing, with linen cupboard, leads to two single bedrooms and a family bathroom. There are two double bedrooms of substantial proportion enjoying large windows and built-in wardrobes.

There is also loft access for storage.


Outside:

The Manor Farm is set back from the road, passing a well-established hedgerow, the property is approached via gated access where there is a large gravel drive in front of a detached, stone, double garage. To the left of the garage is a five-bar gate leading to the wide side return and lean-to.

Flanking the driveway is the front lawn with an array of mature trees from willow to conifer and monkey puzzle framing the property, offering a degree of privacy and interest. The frontage of this brick family home is softened by climbers and roses.

The front lawn wraps around the south of the property in a large side garden that blends into the rear. A dining terrace, accessed from the rear hall, overlooks the grounds where a lake, encompassed by willow trees, provides a haven for wildlife.

To the east of The Manor Farm grounds lies a grass land area fondly known to the current owner as ‘The Paddock’ with countryside views beyond. In total, The Manor Farm sits in approximately 2.5acres.
