Constantia Manor is an impressive and substantial country house, beautifully presented and finished to a high standard by the current owners. The house offers versatile and generously-proportioned accommodation over two floors, extending to 7,144 square feet and ideally laid out for both every-day family living and grand-scale entertaining alike.

The house is formally approached via impressive pillared entrance gates, opening to a driveway sweeping up past the lake to a large parking area ahead of the house, with views over the land and lake beyond. Two double garages adjoin the house.

A solid oak front door opens to a welcoming reception and staircase hall, with double doors opening to the south-facing terrace and framing the views to the gardens at the rear of the house. There are two south-facing formal reception rooms: the drawing room, which features a handsome stone fireplace, and the dining room. The substantial kitchen and breakfast room is of particular note: superbly appointed with an extensive range of cabinetry and two granite-topped islands, and open to the orangery, which has plenty of space for an informal dining table and sofas and is flooded with light by way of glazing to three aspects; the kitchen is served by a utility room and wine store.

Beyond the drawing room is a large office, which has a lift rising to the first floor, and a generous and versatile ground floor suite with en suite shower room, which could be separately accessed and has the space and potential to create a self-contained annexe. Two cloakrooms with WCs complete the ground floor accommodation.

There are seven bedrooms and five bath/shower rooms arranged over the first floor, six of the bedrooms on the southern side of the house, facing the gardens.

Of particular note is the substantial principal suite which comprises a bedroom with a private balcony offering far reaching views down to the wetlands and countryside beyond, a dressing room and two stylishly-appointed interconnecting bathrooms.

Formal gardens
To the south of the house is a large terrace ideal for summer entertaining. This leads on to the classically-designed gardens which feature a central rill and ornamental ponds flanked by formal lawns and leading to a pavilion at the end of the garden.

Land and outbuildings
A two-bedroom log cabin, previously used by farm workers, has been converted for short countryside breaks. It is a popular AirBnB destination for countryside and wildlife enthusiasts, or could be used for staff or guest accommodation.

One of the former farm buildings houses the biomass boiler which heats the house.

The land is down to grass and there is a large pond to the west of the house for fishing, recreation or open water swimming.

In all, about 20.93 acres.
