Carlton Curlieu Manor, thought to be offered to the open market for the first time in over 100 years, sits in a rural position a short distance from Carlton Curlieu, enjoying views over undulating pasture and farmland in all directions.
Approached via a sweeping tree-lined driveway past the lake, wildflower meadow and croquet lawn (a former grass tennis court) with a wide parking area to the front of the main house.
The entrance hall and adjacent reception hall, from which the principal reception rooms radiate, are of an excellent size, with an attractive feature fireplace, solid timber floor and main staircase.
The drawing room is dual aspect, with views through tall sash windows over the lake and gardens. Elsewhere to the ground floor is an elegant bay fronted dining room with open fire, and an informal sitting room or office, also with an inset fireplace and bay fronted window.
The heart of the house is the recently enlarged and re-fitted open plan kitchen and family room, with breakfasting area, spanning the full depth of the house from front to back, and with a wide range of windows introducing plenty of light and views to the garden through double French doors. Underfloor heated throughout, the kitchen, created by a bespoke kitchen and furniture maker, is positioned around a central island, with excellent range of units, AGA, hob, oven and space for a double fridge freezer with storage over. A step leads down to the family room, where a log burner is set into a deep hearth, and there is space not only for a comfortable seating area, but also for a generous dining area.
From the rear hall are an extensive range of utility rooms, including a large boot room, cloakroom, pantry and laundry/utility room.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom is generously proportioned, with windows overlooking the lake and gardens, and adjacent to a bathroom which could be adapted to create an en-suite. There are five further bedrooms, all of a very good size, two further bathrooms and a washroom. A secondary staircase leads down to the ground floor and kitchen.

Through a covered passage, access is given to the substantial and well-equipped equestrian yard, which includes seven brick-built stables, a wash box, barn, tack room, and several other useful amenity outbuildings including garaging.
