Grade II listed 16th-century manor with strong period character
The Old Manor House is a rare, Grade II listed Cotswold manor dating principally from the 16th century, set in just over three acres with paddock and river frontage. The principal house offers grand, well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings and strong period character throughout — exposed timber beams, large fireplaces and wide-plank floors — making it ideal for anyone seeking a historic family home with scope to restore and personalise.
The estate includes a separate two-bedroom Coach House that has run successfully as a holiday let, substantial garaging for four large cars, stone-built stables, loose boxes and outbuildings — useful for equestrian use or hobby farming. Landscaped grounds, a large flat lawn, mature trees and extensive walking and riding on adjoining countryside all add to the property’s appeal.
Important practical points: the house is listed and needs renovation, so any work will require listed-building consents and specialist contractors. The property has a medium flood risk in parts and council tax is noted as quite expensive. These are material considerations for budgeting both restoration and ongoing running costs.
For families or buyers seeking an historic country retreat with ancillary income potential from the Coach House, The Old Manor House represents significant long-term value. It will particularly suit purchasers who appreciate heritage detailing and are prepared for a sympathetic programme of restoration rather than a move-in-ready home.
