perched in grounds in excess of a third of an acre, the manor house is a magnificent period house dating to the reign of queen anne in the 18th century. the house has been beautifully preserved, boasting immense character.
upon entry, a spacious driveway and manicured gardens lead up to the manor. the period charm of the home is evident from the outset, thanks to the facade’s immaculate fenestration and the ionic columns with a pulvinated frieze framing the main door.
the main reception, adjoining dining room, and hall are splendid areas for entertaining, thanks to their generous proportions and exquisite fireplaces. the large kitchen is well-appointed with fitted cabinetry and is flanked by a charming breakfast room. the study is a discreet enclave, ideal for a work-from-home setting.
four generously sized bedrooms and two bathrooms are laid out across the first floor. the two remaining bedrooms, one of which is an ensuite and the other a further tv room, are located on the second floor.
the house, a beautiful example of georgian architecture, is rich in historic detailing – from the intricate cornicing to the traditional fireplaces and ceiling-high sash windows. wooden floors run throughout, enhancing the elegance of the interiors.
the stunning south-west facing rear garden can be accessed from the reception and the dining hall, providing a wonderful area for outdoor gatherings or playtime with children.
beyond the main house, a detached former stable house with an open-plan living/bedroom space, bathroom and kitchenette can serve as a guest house or staff accommodation. the former tack room offers great storage for garden equipment and has an additional wc. additionally, there’s a garage for two cars as well as off-street gated parking for up to eight more vehicles at the front.
