House For Sale £2,950,000
Built of a local golden coloured iron stone in the latter half of the 18th Century, the Manor is approached through an impressive portico into a large square reception hall with a log burner and access to the gardens, guest cloakroom and principle reception rooms. A door from the reception hall also gives access to the inner hall, domestic offices and annexe.
The dining room is a wonderful room, facing south, with an elegant fireplace, a door into the gardens and views through to the lime avenue. The drawing room, also with an open fireplace, perhaps enjoys the best view over the parkland with an impressive curved bay and double doors leading on to a path and the grounds.
Adjacent to the drawing room lies the sitting room with an open fire, also with views over the park. The inner hall gives access to a large study, laundry room, boot room and kitchen/ breakfast room with Aga. From the kitchen a door opens to utility and then larder. There is also a further cloakroom and a door out to the courtyard from the boot room.
From the inner hall a passage leads to the internal ground floor access to the Guest/Staff annexe, with the annexe also having an independent access to the street. There are two cellars, for wine and storage.
A fine turning staircase leads to the first floor, with the principal bedroom having an en suite bathroom, dressing room and views down the lime avenue. Adjacent to the principle bedroom there is a lovely guest bedroom with large curved bay windows with views over the park, and adjacent to this a further good sized bedroom.
There is separate family bathroom also accessed from the main landing. A secondary staircase leads to the two further bedrooms and also back down to the inner hall. There is also access from the inner staircase to the guest / staff annexe.
Adjacent to the main house are large wooden double gates that open in to a courtyard, framed by the coach house and outbuildings.
Of particular attraction is the south facing historic Walled Garden. The garden is divided into sections, fruit trees and vegetable patches together with various stores and a glasshouse. Halfway down the garden a door, set into the wall, opens onto a grassed path leading to the historic former icehouse. From the icehouse, there are views back towards the house, and one can walk the length of the parkland down to a small copse, past two spring fed
ponds and then back up the hill to the start of the lime avenue where there is also an outdoor tennis court. The formal gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with herbaceous borders rose beds and a number of mature trees.
