The Manor House - A Landmark 17th Century Residence in the Heart of Bratton

The Manor House is an exceptionally handsome Grade II listed 17th century country residence, perfectly positioned in the centre of this highly sought after village. Steeped in history and elegance, this remarkable home offers over 5,000 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation and presents a rare opportunity to become the next custodian of one of Bratton’s most prominent and well-recognised houses.

A Home of Character, Warmth and Generosity

From the moment you step inside, the welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the house; gracious, inviting, and rich with period charm. The accommodation flows effortlessly, offering five reception rooms, six spacious double bedrooms, and three bathrooms, all enhanced by newly installed high specification secondary glazing and gas central heating.  As well as being an ideal family home, The Manor House offers excellent, versatile entertaining space inside and out, from children’s birthday parties, to drinks parties or formal dinners. 

Ground Floor - Elegant Living and Exceptional Entertaining Spaces

The delightful sitting room, with its dual aspect sash windows, shutters, and log burner, provides a cosy retreat on colder evenings. At the heart of the home lies the magnificent kitchen/dining room complete with original flagstone floor, a truly impressive space designed for both family life and entertaining. The vaulted dining area, with exposed beams, a striking brick fireplace with log burner, and barn-style doors opening to the patio, creates a dramatic yet welcoming atmosphere. A recently added mezzanine offers a charming spot to read, relax, or play.

Practicality is well catered for with a generous utility/boot room, separate cloakroom, downstairs toilet, and full-height staircase access to the cellar; ideal as a gym, workshop, or easily accessible storage.

The ground floor continues with an exceptional Georgian drawing room, currently used as a music room, featuring high ceilings, picture rails, double-height sash windows, and another log burner. Two further reception rooms offer superb flexibility: a characterful study with exposed beams, wooden flooring, window seats, and log burner, and a playroom or hobby room tucked quietly at the end of the hallway.

First & Second Floors - Beautiful Bedrooms and Luxurious Bathrooms

The feature staircase leads to the first floor, where three generous double bedrooms sit at the front of the house, two with built in wardrobes and one with an en suite shower room. The principal suite is a standout feature; a beautifully finished bedroom with dual-aspect sash windows leading to an exceptional dressing room with plentiful built-in storage, and a stylish en suite shower room, recently refurbished.

The family bathroom is equally impressive, light and airy with wood panelling, a freestanding bathtub, and a separate rainfall shower.

An enclosed staircase leads to the second floor, which offers two further double bedrooms, both with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. One benefits from a dressing area and access to a practical store-room.

Grounds & Setting - A Private Haven in a Thriving Village

Approached via a gated, tree lined driveway, the property enjoys extensive parking and a generous outhouse suitable for use as a garage. The secure gardens are a true delight: two generous level front lawns with mature borders and a productive vegetable garden, and a separate private rear garden with a raised patio perfect for alfresco dining, along with a further lawn for children to play.

Location - A Village with Heart, Heritage and Convenience

Bratton is a picturesque, welcoming, and highly prized village nestled beneath the downs, surrounded by spectacular countryside and offering a strong sense of community.
