6 bedroom detached house for sale

A picturesque family home set in moated grounds, including outbuildings and a paddock.

Description

A striking Victorian red brick manor house, The Manor has been lived in by the same family for over a century and offers space and character in spades. The property is situated in a delightful semi-rural setting within a quiet hamlet, behind the village church and encircled by a moat. Externally the house sits in grounds of about 4.53 acres, including gardens, a paddock, orchard and vegetable patch, with an outbuilding comprising several workshops and garages that offers great scope for conversion (subject to necessary consents).

Internally the property retains many of its original features, including decorative coving, fireplaces and sash windows. Though it has been modernised, the décor is somewhat dated and would benefit from further modernisation, making it a fantastic opportunity for personalisation by the new owner. The substantial home extends to almost 4000 sq ft over two floors, comprising three formal reception rooms and a conservatory, a kitchen, study, utility room, two cloakrooms, a boot room and stores to the rear. Upstairs there are six double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite, plus a family bathroom and shower room.

The property is set within a good-size, established plot of about 4.53 acres, on the site of a former medieval moated manor, of which much of the moat remains. There are beautiful views in all directions and lovely countryside on the doorstep for dog walking and riding. A tarmac driveway leads between the moats and then splits towards the main house, where there is a parking area to the front, and to the separate detached outbuilding which comprises garaging, workshops, stores and a pig sty to the rear, this could easily be converted to stabling or a secondary residence (subject to necessary consents). The gardens wrap around the property and include a variety of mature trees which provide privacy and seclusion. Adjoining the gardens is a paddock which would be suitable for grazing.
