Ardsley Manor is a rare Grade II listed 17th-century semi-detached manor offering over 3,000 sqft of lived-in history. The house retains many original features — wainscoting, exposed sandstone, original doors and fireplaces — set within large private grounds with parking for multiple vehicles and outbuildings.
The accommodation includes three generous double bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen-dining area, separate lounge with French doors to the garden, and useful utility and WC space. High ceilings and large rooms create flexible family living and scope to create a fourth bedroom or more living zones on the first floor.
Important practical points: listed status means repairs and alterations will require consent and may be more costly or restricted. External sandstone walls are likely uninsulated and the double glazing was installed before 2002 — upgrading thermal performance and services should be expected. Council tax is described as expensive, reflecting the property size and status.
For a family seeking a characterful home with extensive grounds and excellent parking in an affluent, low-crime area, Ardsley Manor offers scale, privacy and countryside views close to town amenities. Buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance and listed-building requirements when assessing long-term costs and refurbishment plans.
