Manor House is a substantial early-18th-century Georgian estate set in about 2.5 acres of mature formal and wild gardens, with uninterrupted countryside views. The main house retains many period features — multiple reception rooms, bay windows, fireplaces and cellars — alongside a fully self-contained three-bedroom cottage wing that is currently well maintained and habitable.
This property offers exceptional scope for someone seeking a high-profile country home or a conversion/development project. With around 9,165 sq ft of accommodation and outbuildings approaching 2,800 sq ft (stables, milking barn, cowshed, garage and car port), there is clear potential for reconfiguration, annexing or equestrian and small-holding uses. The cottage wing provides immediate accommodation while works are planned for the principal house.
Important practical points are straightforward and must be factored into any purchase decision. The main house requires extensive modernisation throughout, EPC rating F, oil-fired central heating, shared water supply arrangement, twin septic tanks and solid brick walls likely without modern insulation. Council tax is substantial (Band G for the main house), and historic fabric will demand sensitive, and potentially costly, upgrading.
For buyers attracted to period character, space and privacy, Manor House is a rare opportunity in a very affluent rural location with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. A full inspection is essential to appreciate the siting, versatility and scope for improvement — the house will suit a buyer able to invest in restoration and long-term stewardship of a significant country estate.
