5 bedroom house

3 Manor Cottages was formerly two cottages which were combined and extensively renovated in 2018 giving a high standard of decoration throughout. On the ground floor there is a welcoming entrance hall which gives access to the sitting room/playroom, utility room and open-plan dining and sitting rooms with access to the garden via large bi-fold doors. Beyond this is the large open-plan kitchen and breakfast room with further access to the garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cloakroom and generously sized study. The whole of the ground floor has natural stone flooring, the majority of which has underfloor heating. There is gas central heating throughout and a wood burning stove (one in an inglenook fireplace) in both sitting rooms. Most of the windows were replaced in 2018.

The first floor comprises five bedrooms, four of which have en-suite bath/shower rooms. Outside there is a double garage, stable, shed and ample off-street parking accessed via two driveways , one with electronic gates. The mature gardens have been planted with a wide variety of shrubs, topiary, herbaceous perennials, specimen trees and fruit bushes. There is also an ornamental pond with fountain, separate vegetable garden and several seating areas. The garden enjoys views of the open pastureland beyond.
