A fine example of a Grade II listed family home, conveniently located in this popular village, with mature gardens that enjoy a sense of privacy whilst being in the midst of the village
Description
The Manor House is a traditional tile hung, Grade II listed character property in the middle of Rotherfield village, with flexible family accommodation enjoying an abundance of period features including impressive reception rooms with high ceilings, exposed beams, lead light windows, decorative coving and a number of both working and decorative feature fireplaces.
Arranged over four floors, the accommodation can be arranged to suit, currently comprising a kitchen/diner with a separate utility, four reception rooms, five sizable bedrooms, an attic room and two bathrooms. The formal drawing room is of particular note, with an impressive Inglenook fireplace and an archway leading through to the library, with doors opening onto the south facing courtyard. The sitting room is just as charming, with a log burning stove and views of the gardens.
The panelled dining room has doors opening to steps down to the rear garden, and a useful shelved cupboard. The kitchen/diner has a wood burner and is fitted with hand painted shaker style units and solid granite worktops, with a gas Rangemaster Professional and Rangemaster extractor fan. There is a useful utility area off the kitchen, fitted with a sink and space for a washing machine, dryer and fridge freezer.
To the first floor, there are three bedrooms, with an en suite to the principal room and a dressing room accessed by both the principal bedroom and bedroom two. The third bedroom is currently arranged as an impressive oak panelled study, with useful ‘hidden’ storage and intricate etched details including the latin phrase ‘Excidit Amor Nunquam’, translating to ‘Love never fails’. A family bathroom and separate WC complete the first floor accommodation.
To the second floor, there are two further bedrooms, both with far reaching views over Millennium Green. There is also an attic room to the second floor, accessed via a separate staircase from the first floor hallway.
There is also a sizable cellar, accessed via the first-floor hallway and also directly from the garden. This space offers further storage and space for additional white goods, but noting the cellar could be used for any manner of uses.
Outside, the rear well established garden is East facing and extends Southward, with the courtyard being South facing. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and is enclosed by walled boundaries to both sides and a fenced boarder to the rear, with a gate opening to the Millennium Green, which was purchased by a Trust in the local area in 2000, to be held in perpetuity for the use of the people of the Parish. The courtyard can be accessed from both the library and a quaint brick walkway leading from the garden. There are two brick built stores, one ideal as a potting shed, and a further log store to the rear of the garden.
The property is set back from the High Street behind St. Denys pharmacy, and is approached via a brick archway that leads through to the entrance gate, with a gravel footpath and herbaceous boarders leading to the front door.
