Groton Manor is a distinguished Grade II listed manor set well back from the lane within about 1.55 acres of mature grounds. The house blends 17th‑century fabric and a grand Georgian façade to deliver large, high‑ceilinged reception rooms, a garden room opening to lawns, and a substantial principal bedroom suite with an equally generous en‑suite. The plot includes a private, air‑source‑heated swimming pool and a long sweeping driveway that provides plenty of parking and privacy — ideal for family life and entertaining.
Internally the home retains plentiful period character: exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, sash windows and original joinery. The kitchen and utility/boot rooms are practical and spacious, with a large walk‑in larder and room for informal dining. Reception configuration offers flexible living, with dual sitting rooms, a formal dining room and a snug/home‑office overlooking the front pond.
Practical considerations are plain: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment plans. Heating is currently oil‑fired (with an air‑source heat pump serving the pool) and the house uses a private Klargester sewage system. Council Tax is Band G (estimated c. £3,722 pa), and the size/age of the house means ongoing maintenance and conservation costs should be expected.
For families seeking a spacious, characterful country home with excellent privacy, fast ultrafast broadband and easy access to nearby villages, this manor offers rare scale and presence. Buyers wanting major alteration potential should plan around listed‑building consent and the practicalities of servicing a large historic house.
