Description

The Manor House is a stunning Georgian residence dating back to 1715, offering flexible accommodation across three floors. The property retains many original features, including decorative mouldings, sash windows with some original glass, and oak floorboards.

Upon entering through the original front door, you are welcomed into a grand and spacious entrance hall. From here, the formal dining and sitting rooms overlook the manicured lawn and showcase period charm. Two wings extend from the main hallway: one houses a study, the generous kitchen/dining room with a separate pantry and utility room, while the other features a downstairs cloakroom, generous family room and studio beyond. There is a wonderful balance of accommodation throughout the house, offering great flexibility of space. These wings are connected by a private courtyard, ideal for entertaining in the summer months.

Above the family room is a self-contained one bedroom apartment, complete with a kitchenette and WC - perfect for home working or guest accommodation. The cellar is accessed off the main entrance hall.

A sweeping timber staircase leads to the first floor, where a large landing gives access to the impressive double-aspect principal bedroom with a stylish en-suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms on the first floor (two doubles and one single), all of which are served by the family bathroom.

The staircase continues to the second floor, which comprises three further double bedrooms with views over the village and surrounding countryside. These bedrooms are served by the modern shower room.
