Manor House - Believed to pre-date the date stone of 1701 this is large period house with around 4200 sq.ft of space which is perfect as a family home. It has many original features including flagged stone floors, buttery/utility room, parque wooden floor in the dining room, open fires and fireplaces, sash windows, working wooden window shutters and original architraves. There are also a number of fireplaces to be uncovered which have not been used by the current family in the 40+ years they have owned the home.

On the ground floor, there are two large reception rooms to the front, typical of the Georgian era, a large entrance hallway, traditional dining kitchen, pantry/buttery and wonderful staircase with large feature window overlooking the garden. On the first floor there are five bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the second floor there is an opportunity to put your own stamp on the home. This is an extensive loft space with good head height and is accessed by a wooden staircase from the bathroom entrance. It has great potential for additional living space or home working office space. Subject to the relevant planning consents, this could be used for a variety of flexible uses or simply used as a large storage space.

The current owners recently had significant work completed in 2022 to restore the external facades including a new roof with Westmorland slate and insulation, new cast iron guttering and downspouts, lime mortar pointing to correct specification to west elevation and north gable end, window repairs and re-decoration.

Manor Close Cottage - With around 1053 sq.ft of accommodation, this two bedroom cottage sits adjacent to the main house and offers an abundance of flexible options.
