House For Sale £1,000,000
The Manor House, Compton Bishop, is most attractive and is believed to date from the early 1700's. The front elevation has three front facing gables and ovolo moulded wooden windows to the ground, first and attic floors.
Whilst the property will require some updating, it is charming. The interior has a warm and friendly atmosphere with well proportioned reception rooms and comfortable ceiling heights. There are many features appropriate to the period including flagstone floors, beamed ceilings, window seats, simple ceiling cornicing and in the drawing room there is a recessed display arch with scalloped shelves.
The entrance hall has a flagstone floor. The drawing room, sitting room and dining room all face west with a lovely open outlook of the Mendip Hills. The three rooms each have an open fire with Minster stone surround.
The breakfast kitchen is fitted with a range of painted units and integrated appliances include hob and oven, faces east looking out over its land and to the south over the entrance, outbuildings and countryside. A rear hallway leads to the utility room, and boot room/store room.
On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a separate w.c. There was once a connection to The Cheese Barn (lot 2) which could easily be re-instated to combine the 2 properties. There are 2 turning staircases that rise to the attic bedroom floor. A staircase rises to 1 bedroom and the second staircase rises to 3 good size bedrooms with vaulted ceilings.
Outside, The Manor House is approached through a 5 bar gate to a large concrete courtyard around which are grouped a range of stone and tile outbuildings.
The front garden is walled and enclosed with level lawn on either side of a central pathway leading to the stone entrance porch. There are shaped flower borders and a holly tree. The enclosed walled rear garden has an expanse of lawn with flower borders, gravel pathways and mature trees. There is a stunning view over its adjoining land to the Mendip Hills.
The stone and tile outbuildings grouped around the entrance courtyard comprise a detached building with two stables, cobble floor and original hay feeders and a loft above. A single storey building to the north of the courtyard comprise two stables with exposed roof trusses, original mounting block and large hay/log store. The courtyard to the east opens to a walled enclosure and a further concrete yard with a stone and tile building providing scope for further stabling.
A steel farm gate from the main courtyard to the south gives vehicular access to further a 3,746 sq ft of agricultural buildings accessed also off Butts Batch. They comprise a 6 bay open fronted store for heavy farm vehicles and an adjoining corrugated hay store incorporating a lock up workshop.
The adjoining land, with spectacular views, lies to the south, east and north of the house and outbuildings. There is access either off Butts Batch or the entrance courtyard. They are laid to pasture and divided into three paddocks.
