House For Sale £850,000
A classic Grade II listed residence offering generous accommodation and providing scope for refurbishment amid secluded gardens set in a convenient central village location and within walking distance of mainline station
Rushford Manor is a classic Grade II listed village residence providing well balanced and proportioned accommodation set amid generous gardens in a central village setting.
There is recorded history of an ancient manor house on this site for circa 650 years and the property is mentioned within various historic tomes and tithe maps. Although the age of the current building is hard to determine, it has been improved and modified by successive owners over the centuries and now displays a symmetrical mid 1700s frontage and attractive gabled Victorian extension at the rear.
The property benefits from lofty ceiling heights and capacious windows throughout creating a bright and airy atmosphere. A wealth of original features is on display including sash windows, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and period fireplaces including a magnificent inglenook.
The expansive accommodation is arranged on three floors. Both reception rooms benefit from parquet flooring and inglenook fireplaces, with the dining room fireplace being particularly impressive. The kitchen is arranged open plan to a vaulted breakfast area and in addition there is a traditional larder, boiler room and ground floor cloakroom.
Upstairs, on the first floor are two spacious bedrooms with sash windows to the front interconnected by a dressing room, a further bedroom with vanity basin plus a bathroom with separate shower room and WC. Above are two pretty vaulted bedrooms and there is ample storage provided throughout.
The garden is a particular feature of the property, lovingly tended over the years and filled with eye catching displays of flowering shrubs and herbaceous plants. The lawns provide perfect space for family games and relaxing, bordered by hedging creating a secluded setting. There is a good sized garden store by the house as well as a productive kitchen garden including fruit trees in a further area of garden beyond the lawn. A lengthy driveway provides parking for several vehicles leading up to the brick built double garage. The gardens amount to about a third of an acre in all.
