House For Sale £2,750,000
The Manor House is Listed Grade II*. It is believed to originally date from the Jacobean period, although with later additions and alterations. The house has much better proportions than most Cotswold houses of its period, with good ceiling heights and plenty of large windows, making the rooms light and bright. The accommodation is conveniently laid out for both entertaining and modern family living. To either side of the front door are the drawing and dining rooms, with an impressive galleried staircase beyond. The west-facing kitchen/breakfast room is a good size and there is also a separate sitting room and a study.
On the first floor are 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (two of which are en suite), and 2 further bedroom suites on the second floor. A wing of the house is arranged a self-contained one bedroom flat, although it can easily be incorporated within the main house if preferred.
