Padmore House is a rare, impressively restored 17th‑century manor set in about 16 acres with long westerly views over the River Medina. The main listed house (circa 1650) offers extensive reception rooms, 13 bedrooms and multiple historic features restored to a high standard, alongside a contemporary six‑bedroom Long House, oak‑framed garage/barn with studio, and a productive walled vegetable garden.
The current owners have completed major works to the fabric of the manor including repointing, new chimney stacks, upgraded services and sensitive interior refurbishment. The Long House provides modern, light open‑plan living and underfloor heating, creating clear dual‑occupation potential for extended family use or holiday/let income. Grounds include formal terraces, paddocks, mature trees and a greenhouse — ideal for hobby farming or amenity paddocks.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the main house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate future consent for changes. The property uses private drainage, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is high. These factors sit alongside the strengths of excellent mobile signal, no flood risk, and substantial parking and outbuildings.
This offering will suit a buyer seeking a character country estate with both historic charm and contemporary living, whether as a large family home, a combined home-and-income opportunity, or an owner with appetite for listed‑building stewardship.
