Rodwell Manor is a striking Grade II* thatched manor set in about 5.18 acres of formal gardens, paddock and pond. The house retains extensive period detail — exposed cruck beams, stone and hamstone walls, flagstone floors and multiple impressive fireplaces — arranged over generous reception rooms and six bedrooms. The south roof was re-thatched recently, and principal rooms face southerly and northerly aspects, giving balanced light and countryside views.
The ground floor offers a great hall, drawing room, large dining room with bread-oven feature, sitting room with open fire and a kitchen/breakfast room with a four-oven oil-fired AGA. The layout includes practical spaces: utility, boot room, cloakroom, wine store and two staircases serving the bedroom wings. Two bedrooms have en suites and the principal suite includes a dressing area.
Outbuildings include a stone garage/stable, workshop and garden store; the garage/stable might be convertible to accommodation subject to planning. Grounds are a major asset: carriage drive, greenhouse, enclosed kitchen garden with fruit trees, mature specimen planting, formal lawns and a paddock with water supply and small copse.
Important considerations: the listed Grade II* status will limit alterations and require specialist maintenance; parts of the house are historic and will need ongoing conservation care. Council Tax Band H reflects the property size. Some original fittings (such as a Clearview stove) are currently not in use and will require servicing before regular use.
