Set within attractive south-facing gardens and grounds extending to approximately 1.65 acres, incorporating a paddock and an orchard, the property enjoys a wonderful balance of privacy, rural charm and convenience. A newly created driveway from High Cross Road provides an impressive approach to the property, revealing magnificent views of the farmhouse's handsome Georgian frontage. The attached barn presents exciting potential for additional accommodation, guest quarters or income-generating holiday accommodation, subject to the approved planning consent and any necessary permissions.

Accommodation Summary

Believed to date from the 18th century, Manor Farmhouse is a beautifully proportioned Grade II listed residence offering elegant reception rooms, extensive bedroom accommodation and a wealth of original period features throughout. Character fireplaces, original staircases, exposed timbers, traditional flooring and historic joinery combine to create a home of considerable charm and distinction.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and offers exceptional flexibility for modern family living, with five principal bedrooms, three substantial attic rooms, multiple reception spaces and excellent ancillary accommodation. Adjoining the farmhouse is an attractive brick-built barn with planning permission to create a separate dwelling, presenting a rare opportunity to further enhance this impressive country home.

Planning and Development:

The property is being sold with approved planning permission for the conversion of an outbuilding to a separate dwelling. Full details can be viewed via the Harborough District Council Planning Portal using application reference 23/00615/FUL (revised scheme of 21/01617/FUL).

Part of the original landholding has been sold separately and benefits from planning permission for a separate dwelling and garage under application references 23/00617/FUL and 24/01565/OUT. This plot is not part of the sale. The title register and plan are currently awaiting update by HM Land Registry to reflect the transfer.

Planning permission has also been granted for the formation of a new vehicular access serving both Manor Farmhouse, the barn conversion and the development plot under application reference 23/01602/FUL. This has been completed, apart from the top coat of tarmac and the installation of electric gates, which will be done in conjunction with the build of the new plot at an equally shared cost.
