Situated on a little used country lane leading from Thrandeston Great Green towards Mellis, lies this exquisite fine timbered building, The Manor House, Listed Grade II* sits within an overall plot of approximately 1.38 Acres (0.56 Hectares) and is on the 'Open Market' for the first time in four decades. Guide Price £625,000 Subject to Contract.
Location - Thrandeston is a picturesque English village with a green, duck pond, historic houses and Parish Church all set within a quiet network of country lanes worthy of being classed as being 'off the beaten track'. The traditional village is however only minutes from Eye and Diss along with the main A143 and A140 trunk roads leading through the region. A former Victorian village school now serves as the Village Hall with wider facilities being found at the neighbouring villages of Mellis, Palgrave and Wortham namely, pubs, primary schools and sports facilities. Both Eye and Diss provide an extensive range of shops and services including a mainline rail station at Diss with hourly services to London Liverpool Street Station in a journey time of around 90 minutes.
Description - The Manor House has been in the present family since the early 1980's. Grounds extend to approximately 1.38 Acres (0.56 Hectares) where under the previous ownership Show Ponies were produced and a line of Pony Boxes remain. The main house, Listed Grade II* offers comfortable well planned living space across three floors and contains an outstanding and superior range of architectural details especially carved and embellished timbers within the framework: qualities very rarely seen in the general housing market and a house of this size. The exterior is notable for its jetted front elevation also apparent internally following the addition of an extension across the rear. The interior is also notable for not only well proportioned square footage but also volume given the tall ceiling heights of nearly 8'. The ground floor is laid out to provide two reception rooms within the original timber frame with beyond, within a later addition, a sizeable Aga kitchen plus hallway, laundry room and shower room. An outer porch to the rear serves as a useful buffer between the outside and interior especially when one considers the outdoor nature of this property and the inevitable muddy boots and coats. To the first floor, three bedrooms, all timbered, make use of a further shower room while the attic floor above, has a further bedroom and bathroom. Oil fired heating is installed with radiators throughout. Outside, a driveway leads off Mellis Road providing access to Manor House along with neighbouring Grove House (shaded Green on the accompanying plan).
Sitting Room - 16'11 x 16' (5.16m x 4.88m) - A fine timbered room within the original frame and showing fabulously carved binding beams with crossed roll and ovolo mouldings along with high quality acanthus carved faces, each beam differing in detail and believed to be Renaissance in style. To one side an inglenook fireplace contains a solid fuel burning stove set on a brick hearth. Windows to both the front and side elevations provide good natural light to the room with ceiling height of approximately 7'11. Two double radiators each with thermostatic radiator valves. Five wall light points. Oak outer front door with glazed pane above. An open section provides access to the Dining Room and staircase plus a latch door leads to the Hallway and rear accommodation.
Dining Room - 15'10 x 14' (4.83m x 4.27m) - A further well timbered room with windows to both the front and side elevations. A chimneybreast has open fireplace and brick hearth.
