Description
Living Accommodation - Manor House is an exceptional Victorian residence that has been beautifully and sympathetically modernised, preserving a wealth of original period features. Characterised by its soaring ceilings and large sash windows, the home is bathed in natural light throughout.
The ground floor offers an impressive layout, beginning with a spacious entrance hall featuring the original tiled flooring. At the heart of the home lies a spectacular open plan living kitchen, extending approximately 39 feet and benefitting from a triple aspect, with French doors at both ends opening out onto the surrounding patios and gardens. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of classic shaker-style units, a variety of integrated appliances, an electric Aga, space for an American-style fridge freezer, and a central island with breakfast bar.
Adjoining the kitchen is a generous utility/boot room providing additional storage, space for white goods, and direct access to the rear of the property. To either side of the entrance hall are two elegant reception rooms, both with dual-aspect views, feature fireplaces with log-burning stoves, and characterful touches such as a large bay window in one and open-plan flow back to the kitchen in the other. A downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
Bedroom & Bathroom Accommodation - The upper floors are home to six well-proportioned bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. On the first floor, three double bedrooms include the magnificent principal suite, offering a spacious bedroom, a dedicated dressing area, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. The ensuite is thoughtfully appointed with a centrally positioned roll-top bath, a walk-in shower, wash hand basin, low flush WC, and a heated towel rail. The second bedroom includes built-in wardrobes, while the third is currently used as a study.
On the second floor, there are a further three bedrooms, two doubles and a single. All three of these bedrooms are served by a shower room complete with a walk-in shower, wash hand basin, low flush lavatory and a heated towel rail.
The Grounds - Manor House enjoys a peaceful and private position, set within approximately 2 acres of mature, landscaped grounds, and a paddock of approximately 1.12 acres on the opposite side of the road. A gravel driveway leads to ample parking and a detached stone-built double garage with an electric door. The grounds are arranged into a variety of spaces: two south-facing front lawns flank the drive, bordered by fencing and hedging, and dotted with mature specimen trees.
The front gardens wrap around the property to the west side where a large sun terrace adjoins the kitchen—perfect for capturing afternoon and evening sun. From here, two gates lead to different garden areas: one to a tennis court and another to a more secluded rear patio. Steps from this patio ascend to a more formal garden, an enclosed area with mature borders, a substantial vegetable garden, greenhouse, and access to the garage and its attached office/gym. The office/gym features its own ensuite bathroom, offering the flexibility to be used as an additional bedroom if desired.
Beyond the garden lies a small paddock, and discreetly positioned behind the tennis court are the stables—completing this exceptional country home.
Location - Tucked away in rolling countryside, the historic village of Pickworth—mentioned in the Domesday Book—offers a peaceful rural lifestyle with a welcoming community. The monthly service at All Saints Church is a local tradition, and nearby Castle Bytham provides everyday amenities.
