A high specification and beautifully presented Grade II listed Georgian home in a popular village, set within mature landscaped gardens.
This impressive Grade II listed Manor House was originally built in the mid-17th century and is attractively rendered and whitewashed. It has been subject to considerate renovations to modernise internally and extend the accomodation whilst respecting the lovely period features, creating a stylish and well-appointed home. Recent updates include the creation of an open plan kitchen/dining room with adjoining skylit orangery bathed in natural light and the conversion of the space above the garage into an office. The house has been improved and decorated to an excellent standard and is equipped with all the desired modern conveniences, such as underfloor heating in the kitchen/dining room, utility room, orangery and music room. The house is set within fabulous, well-established and maintained grounds with tennis court and orchard.
The Manor House is bright and airy with excellent light throughout and a wonderful balance of period features, contemporary styling and modern conveniences. The entrance hall at the heart of the house is surrounded by the reception spaces. The dual aspect living room with exposed oak beams and open fireplace is accompanied by a dining room, cosy snug with Inglenook fireplace, music room and orangery with large skylight. The orangery leads into the modern kitchen complete with granite work surfaces and integrated appliances. The locally crafted kitchen provides ample storage and has a central island with oak breakfast bar.
The six well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors. The principal bedroom has an appealing south and west dual aspect, built-in storage and en suite facilities with roll top bath and separate shower. The additional five double bedrooms benefit from an abundance of storage, two family bathrooms and a shower room. The detached double garage has a tastefully renovated first floor with retained high ceilings and exposed beams currently used as an office with space for guests.
The Manor House is tucked away down a tree-lined gravel driveway, with ample parking and access to the double garage. The wraparound gardens are surrounded by mature trees and hedges, providing complete privacy, and are beautifully landscaped with an array of plants to add colour and texture. There is an orchard which has apple, plum, apricot and cherry trees and a well-established walled vegetable garden, along with discreetly positioned solar panels supplying the house. Period features such as the font and generous lawns with a well maintained tennis court to provide the perfect space for entertaining friends and family alike.

This is a glorious family house set in gorgeous gardens and grounds of about 3.4 acres, I especially like the orangery which floods the house with natural light and the double garage block with the versatile office above is ideal for anyone working from home
