Old Linslade Manor is an elegant Grade II Listed manor house constructed of brick with stone quoins under a slate roof. With more than 7,000 square feet of handsome accommodation, the manor lies in a sought-after position in Old Linslade, within two miles of Leighton Buzzard town centre. The property dates from the 18th century and is set in charming mature grounds, whilst internally the house combines light and spacious reception rooms with comfortable bedroom accommodation.

The reception hall has wooden flooring and an exposed wall of brick and timber frame, as well as a turned staircase leading to the first floor. Off the reception hall there are five main reception rooms on the ground floor, including the 33ft drawing room with its large sash windows and fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove. There is also a beautifully appointed formal dining room, a comfortable family room, a study with exposed beams and an impressive inglenook fireplace fitted with a log burner, and a games room and bar in a modern extension with panoramic windows and sliding glass doors opening onto the outdoor swimming pool terrace. The kitchen has fitted units, a split butler sink, integrated appliances, and an Aga, while further storage and space for appliances is available in the utility room, the boot room, and the cellar, which also has a home gym.

Also on the ground floor there is a stunning indoor swimming pool with shower room and cloakroom, and three sets of French doors opening onto the gardens, while towards the rear there is a self-contained one-bedroom annexe.

Upstairs in the main house there are five beautifully presented double bedrooms, including the substantial principal bedroom with its dressing room and en suite bathroom. One bedroom and a shower room are accessible in a separate first-floor area via its own staircase, while the main first-floor area has a further three bedrooms in addition to the principal suite, plus a family bathroom.

Outside
At the entrance to the property, gates open into the driveway, which sweeps through the grounds leading to the gravel parking and turning circle at the front of the house. Additional parking is available in the detached garage. The gardens include a sun terrace with an outdoor heated swimming pool, while to the rear there is a further courtyard garden accessed via the indoor pool. To the north an area of lawned garden includes the old tennis court (now in need of repair). The principal gardens extend mostly to the front, with a south-facing aspect that welcomes plenty of sunlight. There are extensive rolling lawns with a selection of mature, specimen trees and established, well-maintained hedgerows. Beyond the gardens, open rolling fields provide pasture for livestock.

The large barn and its courtyard provide storage for farm machinery and equipment. The barn has previously had planning consent to convert to residential use which has now lapsed. It would also make substantial, American style stables for an equestrian user.
