Grade II listed farmhouse with large, mature gardens in popular village
Manor Farmhouse is a handsome red brick fronted detached period home which sits back from the village street behind a carriageway drive and mature hedging. Listed Grade II as being of historical and architectural interest, the property has an early C19 entrance doorway with panelled pilasters, cornice and oblong fanlight with glazing bars. It is understood to have mid 16th century origins (rear) and has a selection of attractive features throughout, deep sash windows with shutters, roll topped baths, a range of styles of fireplaces and some exposed timbers.
The elegant hall leads to the two main receptions rooms, both with deep sash windows and fireplaces. The dining room/games room is to the left and on the right is a delightful double aspect drawing room with French Doors which then leads on to a large double aspect study/playroom with an external rear door.
Beyond the staircase, the side hall leads to a cloakroom, the cellar with useful wine bins, and then to the kitchen/dining room which, as evidenced by the exposed timbers and Inglenook fireplace with Bressumer beam, is within the earlier part of the house. With the back stairs in one corner to the first floor, this is a spacious dining area with open studwork and step to the kitchen area. Here there are French doors, ceiling timbers (complete with early meat hooks), a range of painted cupboards with wooden worktops, an electric oven, hob and extractor together with a butler sink and space for a dishwasher. A useful, spacious back kitchen and laundry/boot room adjoin offering further potential (subject to the necessary planning permission and Listed Building consents)
On the first floor there are two elegant front bedrooms, one having a large en suite bathroom (over the study) with twin washbasins, roll topped bath and shower cubicle and the second having a roll topped bath in one corner. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom on this floor and a turning staircase to the second floor with two interconnecting attic rooms.
The sweeping carriageway gated drive leads to a parking area and garage with adjoining brick and flint range of outbuildings.
The front garden is lawned behind mature hedging and there is a further area of lawned garden to one side interspersed with a variety of mature trees and shrubs. There is a terraced area to the rear with space for al fresco dining overlooking the large rear part walled lawns.
