Manor Farm, Torksey Street, Rampton, Retford, DN22

An imposing and beautifully appointed Grade II listed Georgian manor house in about seven acres, with landscaped gardens, excellent character and equestrian facilities.

Description

Manor Farm offers fantastic potential as a smallholding or a leisure facility, subject to permissions. The property sits close to the heart of Rampton village, within its own grounds of about seven acres which encompass paddocks and beautifully landscaped formal gardens. The house itself is Grade II listed and classically Georgian, dating back to the early 18th century with imposing red brick elevations, a pleasingly symmetrical façade and tall, sash windows. The property is notable within the village for its size and grandeur and there are lovely views over the village and its own grounds and farmland beyond. Internally the property retains excellent character, including a dog-leg staircase with a moulded handrail, stone floors, vast fireplaces and decorative mouldings, exposed beams and original wood floors. The original shutters have been beautifully preserved, while cast iron radiators add to the charm.

In recent years the property has been extensively renovated to a very high standard, blending more modern touches with the original character of the home. Proportions are typical of the Georgian style, with large room sizes, high ceilings and tall windows providing excellent natural light. The house is well equipped for modern living, with space for entertaining: the kitchen is a particular highlight, its bespoke oak cabinetry complemented by an AGA in elegant British Racing Green. While larger or more formal occasions can be accommodated in the adjoining dining room. There are two further reception rooms - an inviting sitting room and a relaxed family room with French doors opening to the garden. In a side wing, a cloakroom, study, boot room and utility room provide useful ancillary accommodation.

The upper floors comfortably accommodate six generous double bedrooms. On the first floor, an en suite bedroom has its own shower room, while two further bedrooms share a stunning family bathroom and dressing room. On the second floor there are three characterful double bedrooms, a shower room and kitchenette.

Manor Farm offers a best-of-both-worlds setting, anchored within the community at the front of the house but with a distinctly rural feel to the rear, its seven acres backing on to open countryside. The property is ideal for the equestrian, with excellent amenities including a 60m x 30m floodlit all-weather arena, well-draining post and railed paddocks, and a variety of barns and outbuildings. Within a detached L-shaped building there are four internal stables facing on to a central courtyard, a tack room and feed room, in addition to a barn and storage area. This is joined by a large barns and a further triple garage. The grounds also include two further storage buildings.

The beautifully landscaped, south-facing front gardens were professionally laid out in 2023, creating a striking foreground to the house which stands imposingly behind manicured lawns and framed to either side by abundant walled borders of various native shrubs, adding colour and texture throughout the seasons. The garden extends around the side of the house to the rear, where there is a further sizeable lawn and a paved terrace for outdoor entertaining. To the side of the house there is a secluded paved space, ideal for evening socialising.

The house is accessed via a gated gravel driveway, separate from the gardens, which leads up to a gated entrance to the rear gardens and the beautiful original courtyard which is enclosed by the historic red brick outbuildings.
