Description
The Old Manor is Grade II Listed, and has been in the same family ownership for many years.

The accommodation is well proportioned over three floors, with the possibility of creating a self-contained annexe.
The entrance hall/dining room, has a flagstone floor, and inglenook fireplace, half-panelled walls, and creates a fabulous first impression.
This leads to the kitchen/breakfast room, with Rayburn, wooden floor and window seat overlooking the front. The rear lobby gives access to the adjacent utility/boot room, which is a good size, the cloakroom/wc and access to the garden.
The dual aspect sitting room has a feature inglenook fireplace with woodburner, and access to the garden. An adjacent study area has a staircase to a first floor bedroom with shower room and dressing room. This space has the potential to be used as ancillary self-contained accommodation.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate wc. On the second floor there are three further bedrooms.
