SAVOUR THE VIEWS .
Arriving along a lengthy tree lined driveway, timber gates swing open to reveal the symmetrical splendour of this unique home.
Birdsong greets you as you park up, with sweeping views over the farmland that unfurls to the front as far as the eye can see. Sense the serenity and seclusion immediately. Exemplifying the elegance of the period, The Manor's sleek sightlines continue to the clipped box hedging which frames views out to the hills in the distance.
A WARM WELCOME .
Make your way to the front door, fringed in fragrant wisteria, and step into the entrance hallway where flooring, naturally smoothed by centuries of footfall, and a handsome archway welcomes you into the home.
Light serenades the formal drawing room where a large sash-style window overlooks the westerly garden, whilst a bountiful bay to the front captures views over the rolling countryside. Snuggle up in front of the fireplace on a winter's day and watch the weather patterns move in.
Mirroring proportions, across the hallway, step through to the formal dining room, where original floorboards are recognisable by their breadth. Whet your appetite for the main course by savouring the rural views to the south through the broad bay window. Arched alcoves are furnished with storage, whilst deep skirting boards and pretty cornicing fringe the room. Another ornate fireplace makes a handsome addition to the room with open fire inset.
PERIOD FEATURES .
Returning to the entrance hallway, catch a glimpse of the elegant staircase as it curves up to the first floor. Light from a grand window and various directions is amplified by the high ceilings.
COSY PLACES .
Two further reception rooms can be found to the rear off the hallway: the first making an ideal home office, with its wood-burning stove and shuttered windows. Preceding the study, a door beneath the stairs provides access down to the cellar.
Next, discover the family room, and sit aside the wood-burning stove and enjoy quiet contemplation drawing in the views over the garden framed by the sash window.
ENTERTAINING SPACES .
From here, step through into the hub of the home; the kitchen family room. Black granite tops the cabinets, providing preparation and storage space for all your culinary endeavours. Authentic timbers show their age through their cracks and whorls, surmounting the windows and inglenook, within which a sleek, black, oil-fired Aga is inset.
Three sets of tall sash windows invite light and views in, and French doors open to the terrace for al fresco dining in the summertime.
Beyond the kitchen a latched door leads to a boot room with stable door access out and steps leading up to the laundry-cloakroom.
ROOM FOR ALL .
Retracing your steps through to the entrance hallway, savour the tactile appeal of the smooth, curved banister as you take the staircase up, pause to admire the view from the large Georgian window.
The six generous bedrooms and bathrooms lead off from the landing, many of which enjoy dual aspects, picturesque views and feature fireplaces, adding character and warmth.
GARDEN ESCAPES .
Set in grounds of approximately 1.8 acres, the substantial, mature, west-facing garden of The Manor affords perfect privacy. Surrounded by greenery, wildlife is in abundance.
WHAT THE OWNERS LOVE .
"I love the tranquillity and the open views. The Manor is a wonderful family home and great for entertaining."
