Description
The Property
The Manor House is a most attractive Grade II Listed house, believed to date back to the 15th century, surrounded by about 6.5 acres of undulating gardens and grounds in a quiet and unspoilt area of countryside on the Norfolk/Suffolk border.
The distinctive house, with crow stepped gable and double hipped roof line, is of timber frame with some fine period detail including mullioned windows, fanlight and chamfered beams. However unlike many timber frame houses, The Manor House enjoys spacious and light rooms with good ceiling height.
The house has over 3200 sq feet of living space to enjoy, with all the rooms one would expect of a rural house and lifestyle. The core of the house hosts the more formal rooms including the triple aspect drawing room with open fireplace, central dining room with woodburner and the sitting room with a further inglenook fireplace. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room is complete with Aga, and a delightful snug area with woodburner and French doors out to the south facing garden. There is an essential utility/boot room, a useful study and cellar.
All bedrooms are on the first floor, and the majority of rooms enjoying lovely views of the gardens and countryside beyond. The principal bedroom is triple aspect, with adjoining shower room/WC. There are a further four bedrooms off a main landing, together with two family bathrooms, with a second staircase from the sitting room to one of the bedrooms.
The house has wonderful character and an adaptability to be used in many ways.
Outside
The property is approached through high beech hedging onto a gravelled drive that leads to a turning circle adjoining both the house and barns with parking for many cars. The delightful gardens are predominantly south facing, and have been carefully landscaped and nurtured during the 33 year custodianship of the current owners. There are expanses of lawn, dividing hedges, fine specimen trees, orchard, kitchen garden set behind willow weave fencing, well stocked herbaceous beds and shrubberies. This all provides many points of interest and areas to enjoy. There is a sheltered south to west facing heated swimming pool, and a hard tennis court.
The gardens sweep away from the house, and beyond the initial gardens and grounds is a large paddock and woodland, with a further kitchen garden in the former courtyard of the barn.
The substantial barn is an excellent asset to the property. Of traditional construction, it comprises a main space of 12.4m x 4.7m, with play room/studio above, a games room, laundry room, workshop, car port and wood store.
Location
