Description

Constantia Manor is an impressive and practical country house which has been finished to a high standard by the current owners.

CONSTANTIA MANOR
The formal approach is through impressive front gates with the drive sweeping past the lake up to a large parking area on the north side of the house with views over the land and lake beyond.

Enter the house via a large hall with views straight through to the south facing gardens at the rear of the house. There are some excellent spacious reception rooms including the drawing room, dining room and sitting room making it ideal for both family life and entertaining. The main feature on the ground floor is the large and bright open plan kitchen and breakfast room with a sitting area which opens up on to the terrace and garden beyond.

There is a large principal bedroom suite with a balcony offering far reaching views down to the wetlands and countryside beyond. This bedroom has a dressing room and 2 bathrooms. There are 6 further bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
To the south of the house is a large terrace ideal for summer entertaining. This leads on to the classically designed gardens with a central rill and ponds flanked by formal lawns leading to a pavilion at the end of the garden.

LAND AND BUILDINGS
A log cabin, previously used by farm workers, has been converted for short countryside breaks. It is a popular Airbnb destination for countryside and wildlife enthusiasts, but could easily be used for staff or guest accommodation.

One of the former farm buildings house the biomass boiler which heats the house.

The land is down to grass and there is a large pond to the west of the farmhouse for fishing, recreation or open water swimming.
