Manor Farmhouse is a substantial Grade II listed country house on the edge of Bucklebury, offering almost 5,000 sq ft of historic accommodation across multiple floors. The principal house retains period features such as exposed beams, open fireplaces and sash windows, and sits within a very large, estate-like plot with formal lawns, mature specimen trees and traditional outbuildings arranged around a courtyard. A self-contained two-bedroom cottage adjoins the garages and workshop, adding flexibility for guests, staff or rental income.
The house suits large or multi-generational families, buyers seeking a small country estate or purchasers wanting equestrian or amenity space. Reception rooms are numerous and well-proportioned with a farmhouse kitchen at the heart of the plan; upstairs provides many double bedrooms including a principal suite and further attic/second-floor accommodation. Traditional barns and outbuildings offer scope for conversion or diversified uses, subject to planning and listed-building constraints.
Important practical points are clear: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate redevelopment of buildings and internal reconfiguration. Services are mains electric and water, private drainage and oil-fired central heating, and the property is connected to ultra-fast fibre. Council Tax is shown as Band H for 2025/26, reflecting running-cost scale for a home of this size.
This is a character-rich, rare countryside offering that blends historic charm with substantial space and scope. It requires a purchaser comfortable with listed-property ownership—likely to be an established family or buyer prepared to manage ongoing maintenance and heritage-led decisions. Viewing will best suit those who value privacy, countryside access and flexible estate potential.
