House For Sale £3,600,000
Manor Farm is a striking Grade II listed former farmhouse on the edge of Ramsbury. Manor Farm was originally one of the gate houses to Ramsbury Park, the main manor house of Ramsbury. Manor Farm is nestled in just under ten acres of developed and beautifully maintained grounds, and benefits from a range of attractive period barns and outbuildings which form part of the original farm complex. This range of buildings now comprises a spacious three bedroom cottage, as well as garages, workshops, and a large period brick barn ideal for entertaining. The period farmhouse of over 5,000 sq ft is smooth rendered, with large Georgian style sash windows and also an attractive circular porthole window in the unusual octagonal centre portion of the house, a nod to its former gate house role on the estate. The accommodation is flexible and is currently arranged as a five bedroom house. In more recent years a large timber conservatory has been added and this serves as a welcoming entrance reception hall with good views out over the grounds. There are smart formal drawing and dining rooms with open fireplaces, as well as a cosy sitting room/library. The kitchen/breakfast room is a large room and unusual in shape, perfectly allowing for cooking and eating areas to be easily separated, or
equally being part of the whole living space. This room also flows nicely to the more formal reception rooms and the conservatory. On the first floor there are five/six bedrooms and a dressing room, depending on the requirements of incoming purchasers. The main bedroom suite, part of the original octagonal Georgian design, is filled with natural light via the numerous large windows, and benefits from a bathroom and adjacent dressing room. There are four further bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor, as well as a wet room on the ground floor.
Outside
Manor Farm is approached via wooden electric gates and the formal drive is edged with immaculately clipped twin beech hedges. The grounds at Manor Farm are beautifully maintained and offer a mature green environment around the house. The current owner planted hundreds of specimen trees and hedges over thirty years ago which are now in maturity and add hugely to the landscape. The former farm yard was centred around some stunning period brick barns and outbuildings, providing a courtyard feel with plenty of parking. The grounds are mainly laid to lawn with specimen trees, and shrub and mixed borders, closest to the house. The paddock land is surrounded by copse plantings and areas of wild flowers providing a charming maintained environment, with beehives positioned to take advantage of this rich wildlife setting.
The Cottage
There is a spacious three bedroom cottage extending to approximately 2,000 sq ft which is attached to the large period barn. This cottage has its own designated parking area, garage and private garden. This property can easily be used separately from the main house, or brought into the fold for guests or staff.
Barns and Outbuildings
There is a large brick and clay tile barn extending to over 5,000 sq ft which is currently used as a studio, workshop and party barn space. In addition there is a range of garages, further outbuildings and garden stores.
