The Manor House is a charming Grade II Listed detached residence positioned on a generous plot of approximately 1.2 acres, offering over 4500sqft of accommodation with a total of 7 bedrooms, including ground-floor bedrooms which could be used as a self-contained annexe. The property is offered to the market with NO CHAIN.

Thought to date back to the 1600’s, the property has now been in the same family ownership for 70 years and offers a wealth of character throughout including carved stone mullion windows and ornate original fireplaces. The well-presented accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hallway with cloakroom, cosy snug, farmhouse style kitchen with adjoining scullery and utility room, dining room, drawing room and library. A connecting hallway leads through to the original stables which have been converted to offer an entrance hall, two ground-floor double bedrooms, bathroom and first floor giving a games room and home office. This could be altered to create a self-contained annexe if desired. Back in the main house, a staircase leads to the first floor which offers five bedrooms, three with ensuite facilities and a main family bathroom.

The property is set back from the road in private grounds of approximately 1.2 acres, which are enclosed by stone perimeter walls on 2 sides, with well-maintained gardens offering large areas of lawn, mature trees and hedging. Being approached through double gates, this leads to a large driveway giving parking for multiple vehicles. Attached to the stables, there is a double garage and workshop.
