4 bedroom house

A beautiful manor house set within delightful gardens, with
swimming pool and stone barn, along with equestrian facilities
and paddocks, in all about 10.7 acres.


An attractive stone and thatch property, The Manor House has 15th Century origins and offers a wealth of character, but crucially, is NOT a Listed Building. The house sits beautifully within 3.5 acres of formal gardens and paddocks, with a stone smithy and heated swimming pool.

There are excellent equestrian facilities, which include stabling for four horses, an arena and turn-out paddocks. A further 7.2 acres of grazing is set across the lane, which creates a delightful view from the house.

The Manor House offers well-presented accommodation over two floors, which enjoys views over the garden or grazing.

The ground floor offers three generous, reception rooms, each with an open fireplace, beamed ceiling, timbered and Crittall windows.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms, three of which are large, double rooms. There is also a family bathroom.

The house sits within 3.5 acres of gardens and pasture which are a delight, and the garden’s walls, mature hedgerows, shrubs and trees afford the house great privacy whilst framing attractive views to the parish church.

A stone and largely pantile smithy within the garden, close to the heated outdoor swimming pool, is thought to offer potential for ancillary accommodation (subject to consents) and currently houses a party barn , two stables, a tack room and WC.

A second driveway, leads past the 40m x 20m silicon sand and rubber based arena, to a larger stable yard with two loose boxes, feed store and workshop. There is a turn-out paddock beyond. There is plenty of parking for horse trailers or a lorry.

The larger block of 7.2 acres of ring-fenced pasture lies to the west, directly across the lane from the house and over which there are far-reaching views. Divided into two large paddocks, the land has mains fed water and slopes gently down to the western boundary.
