Description

Having previously been restored, this is a beautifully appointed Manor House to rent dating back to the mid-19th century and situated close to Greenham Common. The hall has now been turned into luxury accommodation.

Featuring private grounds and lots of parking, the hall benefits from a range of luxurious bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms, and plenty of space to host your occasion in beautiful surroundings.

Having been carefully restored and renovated throughout to create a truly impressive property offering a variety of possible uses including a fabulous family home and get together for special occasions. Built of mellow bath stone and originally dating from the sixteenth century, the house was destroyed during the Victorian era and rebuilt by the end of the 19th century.

The exterior stonework has been painstakingly restored. The vast sash windows, together with the roof lantern in the main reception hall, fill the building with natural light and the high ceilings and excellent room proportions create a sense of space and grandeur.

The reception hall is surrounded by a galleried landing above, and the original wide, turning staircase has been maintained and restored. Attractive oak flooring has been laid throughout the ground floor. The property has been renovated to suit 21st century living standards, with underfloor heating installed through the whole building and new double-glazed sash windows.

The bathrooms are fitted with high quality, modern fittings and large chrome and glass showers.

Offering a perfect mix of period classical architecture and state of the art, comfortable modern living.

The grounds have been landscaped and are mainly laid to lawn with two large terrace areas to the east and south, and mature trees and hedging on the southern boundary.

The main garden area is south-facing and enjoys a sunny aspect for the majority of the day. Historically there was a tennis court on the south lawn.

The property is approached through electric metal gates down a sweeping gravel drive to a turning area at the front of the house.
