VIEWING DAY Saturday 2nd August 2025. Strictly by Appointment.

The Manor House, a Grade II Listed property, is a handsome stone-built detached Georgian Gothic double fronted family home designed by architect Sir Jeffery Wyatville in 1828 with earlier 16C courtyard wing to the rear. Configured to provide an elegant and practical living and entertaining environment with 5,056 sq ft of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged predominantly over 2 floors. The property sensitively combines modern amenities with features including large arched windows, generously-proportioned rooms, high ceilings and some original fireplaces. The core of the house, almost lozenge-shaped, is accessed through a spacious wooden-floored reception hall with cloakroom. It briefly comprises a south west facing drawing room with a fireplace, woodburner and French doors to the garden, a south east facing sitting room/dining room with an open fireplace, and a triple aspect family room facing south, south east and south west with a fireplace accommodating a woodburner, flanked on each side by bespoke storage, all three rooms having exposed wooden flooring. A door from the reception hall opens to an L-shaped service wing. It provides a kitchen with quarry-tiled flooring, wall and base units, an ingle wired for an Aga and doors to the terrace and to an inner hall. The inner hall has doors to the side courtyard and to a flagstone-floored old kitchen which has an original open range. The service wing is completed by boiler and fitted utility rooms, the latter with access to the garden. The property also benefits from an arched cellar, suitable for numerous uses.

Stairs rise from the reception hall to the first floor, providing a principal bedroom with Jack and Jill access to a family bathroom with bath and separate shower, also accessible from the landing, and to two further double bedrooms, both with en suite facilities. Stairs from the inner hall rise to a second inter-connecting landing, opening to a further double bedroom and a family bathroom with bath and separate shower. The property’s two remaining double bedrooms can be found on the second floor.

Manor House Cottage In addition to the main house is a detached two bedroom cottage which would be suitable for use as a further dwelling or holiday let.
