Detached 1960s Tudor-revival country house with impressive landscaped gardens, annexe, paddocks and stabling.
Situated at the end of a long private track, and set behind electronically operated wrought iron gates, Tudor Manor is a substantial country house dating from the 1960s and built in the Tudor revival style with exposed beam and plaster infill elevations; it offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. Inside, it is well presented with light, neutral décor, and is ideally suited to both family life, and to hosting on a grand scale.
The spacious drawing room extends to about 24' at its widest point, and has French doors to the southeast facing terrace, and a fireplace with a wood burning stove. There is a separate formal dining room, and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room which is well-equipped with a good range of wood wall hung and under counter cabinets, a centra island/breakfast bar, and tiled worktops and splashbacks. Integrated appliances include an LPG stove, an electric double oven with separate microwave, a dishwasher, fridge and freezer. Beyond the kitchen is a snug/family room, a less formal place to relax. The rear lobby has cupboards housing the washing machine and tumble dryer, and for storage, with a cloakroom lying off the reception hall completing the ground floor.
On the first floor, the principal suite occupies the entire northern wing; it is approached by a large dressing room with white wood panelling, a bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a bathroom with a jet bath and a shower cubicle. There are four further bedrooms, a bathroom with a bath and separate shower, and a shower room.

The annexe is ideal as guest accommodation or for working from home and has an open plan living room/kitchen and a shower room.
The landscaped gardens are an outstanding feature of the property. A sunny sandstone terrace adjoining the house, with space for table and chairs and a superb view over the beautiful lawns, well stocked beds and the koi pond, which has a filter system.
