Manor Farm is a characterful detached residence that provides three floors of versatile accommodation ideal for modern living, yet with retained original features including fireplaces and high ceilings.

The grand coved central reception hall with its turned stairway rising to the first floor opens to the two front-facing reception rooms with their tall ceilings, exposed hardwood flooring, fine walk-in bay windows and charming feature fireplaces. Steps give access to the cool wine cellar and adjacent store below, whilst past the sitting and formal dining room, the hallway flows down to a cloakroom and useful rear porch to the garden. The comfortable family room, with its brick-laid flooring and timber beam enjoys a peaceful garden aspect, alongside which is the converted home gymnasium. The attractive rear-facing kitchen comprises an array of in-keeping country style cabinetry with wooden worksurfaces, modern built-in appliances and a cream AGA range, with ample space for informal mealtimes. Alongside is a handy utility.

The split level first floor landing leads to a tranquil home office, shower room and four well-proportioned and light-filled bedrooms with a wealth of character features. The principal suite enjoys the use of en suite access to the bespoke fitted bathroom with panelled bathtub, with one further bedroom benefitting from a dressing room and another from a wall of integrated wardrobes.
