The current owners purchased the property in 2010 in a state of disrepair and have extensively remodelled and lovingly refurbished throughout. This splendid manor house is beautifully appointed with much of its character and charm restored and combined with all of the comforts of a large modern family home.
An oversized front door sits within a handsome, open sided storm porch creating an elegant introduction to the house.

Doors radiate to the inner hall and the large kitchen/breakfast room. There is a useful guest cloak room/WC and a large storage cupboard. There is access to the cellar which is a perfect size for a superb wine store.
From the inner hall the large study/home office is a bright room with light spilling in from a glass panel door out to a south facing terrace, a perfect spot to take a short break from the day. The Victorian wooden fire surround with over mantle is striking and provides a sense of gravitas, as if one is sitting in a ministerial office in Westminster. There is an in-set log burning stove.

From here there is also a separate boot room for kicking off muddy winter walking boots and a well fitted wet room with shower, wash hand basin and WC.
The wonderful surprise from the rear hall is the superb entertainment room. This glorious space fitted with its very own Victorian styled bar has French doors out to the sun terrace and ample space for a billiards, pool or snooker table. This amazing addition to a property already designed with entertaining in mind would be an ideal venue for party guests and the accommodation layout means that the main house can be closed off.
