A magnificent moated manor house, in a secluded position at the heart of the picturesque village of Brightwell-cum-Sotwell.
The flagstone reception hall is flanked by the drawing and dining rooms, displaying Georgian features of high ceilings, sash windows with working shutters and Adam-style fireplaces. The library in the oldest part of the house has an studded oak door into the family room.
The back stairs lead to a self-contained bedroom and en suite cloakroom. The kitchen has red quarry tiles, period dresser, solid fuel Aga and a walk-in larder. The Dean's study, is of particular interest as it is home to a mural painted by the neo-romanticist, George Warner Allen.
