Approached via handsome gates and a tree lined driveway, the timeless façade of Lingwood Manor conceals almost 7,500 sq. ft. of characterful and refined, yet functional, accommodation, much of which has been renovated and restored to an impeccable standard by the current owners. The stunning tiled entrance hall ensures a warm welcome home every day and is flanked by two extraordinary formal receptions; a drawing room from the top drawer of the Georgian vernacular and a sitting room straight from the pages of a story book showcasing all the character one could hope for from a thatched cottage dating back to the mid 17th Century. This fusion of architectural eras continues throughout and truly makes for a home like no other.
The open-plan kitchen/dining room perfectly balances the formal receptions with a sociable and functional space for everyday family life, whilst the formal dining room is among the most striking of the receptions anywhere in the house – a venue for unforgettable dinner parties and Christmas Day celebrations! A selection of studies, snugs and a large cellar provide yet more versatility whilst an extraordinary garden room provides a generous dose of natural light and a completely different environment in which to soak up panoramic views of the gardens and sun terrace.
The first floor is home to four of the six bedrooms to the main house, with a fine mix of size and character amongst them. A superb large double to the front enjoys all the opulence of the Georgian proportions whilst perhaps the charming large double to the rear with an en-suite and character of a fine cottage would be your choice as a principal bedroom. The two further bedrooms are well served by the central family bathroom.
Rising to the second floor, two further bedrooms enjoy yet more character and versatility with even space for a WC to this floor also.
A standout feature to the home is of course the large annexe, currently split into two apartments. The ground floor two bedroom apartment is an excellent futureproof option for multigenerational living, whilst the first floor two bedroom apartment means the opportunities for flexibility and even additional income are endless.
With mature and varied grounds in excess of 1 acre (STMS), every member of the family is sure to find a corner in which to decompress and fulfil all the needs one could have from a thriving family home. Well-tended lawned areas are perfect for younger family members to stretch their legs, expansive dining terraces are idyllic spots for hosting those near and dear, whilst an array of cosy corners and peaceful seating areas are simply waiting to be enjoyed with a good book.
