Description

The Old Manor, although dating back to the 16th century, has had both Georgian and Victorian additions over the years. There are many original features which have been either been retained, or uncovered during the restoration, such as flagstone and original wooden floors, amazing fireplaces and stone mullioned windows. There are two original staircases leading to the upper floors which have been carefully restored.

All the infrastructure within the house such as wiring and plumbing is new. The bathrooms are modern, stylish and sympathetic to the style of the house. Fireplaces are in abundance and have new log burners and the kitchen is bespoke providing all the modern facilities a family would need . There are further bespoke cupboards (all created by a local craftsman) in the laundry room, utility room as well as all the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Accommodation
On the ground floor is the very impressive new, characterful kitchen overlooking the back garden and the swimming pool area. With a fabulous island, an Everhot cooker together with a smaller stove, it is the heart of the house. Adjacent to this is a breakfast room leading out to, what will be, a stunning new glass extension which will look out over the orchard.

All the ancillary rooms, such as the utility, laundry and boot room have undergone the same level of restoration with care and style together with a nod to the house’s history.

There is a comfortable snug/tv room and a separate dining room both of which have fabulous fireplaces with new log burners. The sitting room has an incredible original fireplace which was uncovered by the present owners. With a large efficient fire and plenty of space for comfy sofas, the room is incredibly inviting.

First Floor
There are two staircases leading to the first floor. All the bedrooms and bathrooms retain the character features of the house but have been renovated with flair and style. A wing of the house contains a further bedroom and bathroom which is perfect guest suite.

Second floor
The spiral staircase, reached from the small inner hall, continues to a second floor landing. This gives access to a fourth well fitted bathroom and also to a large bedroom, which in turn leads into the sixth bedroom. This second floor also being suited as the main suite.

Grounds
As part of the overall restoration, the garden has received the same level of detail as the house. With estate fencing surrounding the house, a lawn and carefully designed planted beds, it sets off the house beautifully. And this is all complimented by a newly installed swimming pool.
