Manor house set in a picturesque village

Description

The Old Manor House is not just a residence; it's a piece of history that offers a unique country lifestyle. Located in Marshfield, the perfect setting for an idyllic retreat or family home.

Just over 4500sq ft The Old Manor House is very well balanced with large living spaces on the ground floor and 5 generous bedrooms serviced by 4 bathrooms. While being modernised to accommodate modern living, the house retains many of its original architectural features. The exposed timber beams throughout the house not only adds character but also reflect the craftsmanship of the era in which the manor was built. These beams create an inviting atmosphere and serve as a focal point in various rooms. The flagstone flooring enhances the rustic appeal of the home while being durable and easy to maintain.

As you enter the handsome front door you are greeted with a wide hallway which is bright and hosts an imposing piano. Leading off the hallway is the formal drawing room. Its design allows for versatile furniture arrangements, making it suitable for both large gatherings and cosy get-togethers. Adjoining is the sitting room which is a more casual area that offers comfortable retreat for relaxation, reading, or watching TV. It can be a family-friendly space or a quiet corner for solitude. Across the hallway and connecting to the modern kitchen is the dining room with enough space for a large dining table, it can accommodate both intimate meals and festive celebrations. The charming kitchen has been lovingly refurbished and is beautifully framed by the window nook from which you can enjoy the stunning walled garden. Finally, off the kitchen is the large boot room, traditional pantry with stone surface, guest WC, boiler room and access to a large cellar.

As well as the attractive staircase to the first floor, there is also a full size lift tastefully concealed behind a door off the hall.

The first floor presents 3 generously sized double bedrooms providing plenty of space for furniture and personal touches. The principal room is a charming space with private dressing room and large en suite with bath and separate shower. Bedroom two benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and en suite while bedroom three is serviced by a dedicated bath and shower room with twin basins. On the top floor the two rooms can serve various purposes, such as a guest suite, children's rooms or home office. There is a shower room to service both these top rooms.

The walled garden is stunning. It provides a private oasis, perfect for gardening enthusiasts or those who enjoy outdoor living. It has been transformed into a beautiful retreat with seating areas, flower beds and the mature trees provide privacy all around. The Grade II* listed dovecote is positioned to the side of the house and this wonderful area is a great supplementary seating area. There is also a large woodshed for storing logs and other garden equipment. Finally there is the twin garage as well as ample parking for 3-4 cars at the front entrance.
