The Property

A remarkable period home steeped in history and brimming with character.

The result is a property rich in authentic Tudor Manor House charm, featuring stone and brickwork, antique inset beams, wood panelling, and grand fireplaces.

Inside, the house has been sympathetically extended and restored, offering generous and well-appointed accommodation ideal for modern family living. Highlights include a bespoke farmhouse kitchen with Aga stove, an impressive entrance, large boot room and luxurious period-style bathrooms and shower rooms throughout.

Approached by a gated driveway the house has plenty of secure parking for multiple vehicles in addition to a four-car garage, above which there is a studio flat, ideal for staff or sub-letting. There is also a large single garage with cellar and oak framed covered parking.

The gardens have been meticulously maintained with a range of lawned gardens and landscaped flower beds and patio areas to the rear and side of the property.

Further accommodation includes a well-presented 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom grooms’ accommodation with open plan living room and kitchen and a further, large one- bedroom modern accommodation above, with wooden cathedral and good kitchen. A one-bedroom detached studio and a further one-bedroom studio above the garage.
