Launched to the market for the first time in 26 years, Greys Manor enjoys a prominent yet private position lying on the edge of the village and well protected by the mature garden and grounds that run with it. Under the watchful eye of the current owners the Manor has been sympathetically extended and modernised and offers well appointed accommodation suitable for modern 21st century living.Complementing the Manor are the excellent range of stone outbuildings, some conversions and others constructed in 2009.
