Description

Nestled within a designated conservation area and recognised as the oldest property in the parish of Hailey, this stunning Grade II* Listed Manor House dates back to the late 15th century, boasting medieval features such as the distinctive hexafoil design. Initially constructed as a hall house, the property was extended and remodelled around 1600 to form a characteristic T-plan with a rear wing. The well-preserved interior, likely crafted by Robert Yate circa 1609, is renowned for its exquisite period timberwork. The property has undergone thoughtful evolution over the centuries and has recently been modernised by its current owners. Extensive improvements include comprehensive redecoration throughout, updated electrical systems, a new boiler and hot water tank, radiator replacements, enhanced smoke and security alarms, a brand-new kitchen and utility room, refurbished bathrooms, bespoke bookshelves and cupboards, and a complete renovation of the adjoining 2/3 bedroom cottage, featuring rewiring, re-plumbing, two new bathrooms, and a modern kitchen.

Exposed timber beams, flagstone flooring, period fireplaces, historic doors, and a grand staircase showcase a wealth of original character. The Old Manor offers generous and flexible accommodation ideal for family living; three inviting reception rooms each feature inglenooks with Clearview wood burners, complemented by a music room, cloakroom, and utility room with direct access to the rear garden. The kitchen, equipped with an electric Aga and central island, opens onto a terrace and connects seamlessly with the dining/family room. Upstairs, on the first floor the principal bedroom impresses with a dressing room and ensuite bathroom, alongside a guest suite with ensuite bathroom, plus two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is further bedroom on the top floor, which could also be used as a playroom.

The attached 2/3 bedroom cottage presents a versatile space perfect for multi-generational families or live-in staff. With separate external access, plus internal access to the main house, there's also a sitting room and shower room on the ground floor with two bedrooms and another bathroom upstairs, offering flexibility to be used independently or incorporated into the main house as required.

Outside

The property is approached through double gates that open onto a gravel driveway, complete with a garage and triple carport. Lying on a plot of just under 0.75 acres, the extensive gardens are mostly laid to lawn with mature hedgerows and trees offering a sense of privacy. A patio area leads from the kitchen doors, providing the perfect spot for alfresco dining or outdoor entertaining. The grounds comprise of several sections, including the main large lawn, the front courtyard area with manicured flower beds, a vegetable patch, plus additional private rear gardens, offering real versatility for the green-fingered buyer. The property also benefits from the renovation of a detached home office.
