Grand Grade II manor with 9 bedrooms, lawns and village charm.
Chain-free Grade II listed manor house, built 1866
A commanding Grade II listed manor set in the heart of Market Overton, this chain-free home offers an exceptional opportunity for family living, entertaining and flexible use. Built in 1866, the house retains authentic Gothic Revival details — high ceilings, original Minton tiles, mullioned windows and a statement stone fireplace — while providing substantial living space across nearly 5,675 sq ft.
The house is arranged with four generous king-size bedrooms on the main first floor, each with en suite, and a second staircase leading to a further five bedrooms on the top floor — ideal for guest accommodation, older children or a self-contained apartment. Principal reception rooms include a library suitable for a grand piano, a drawing room and formal dining room, alongside a cosy country kitchen with walk-in larder and useful cellar rooms that offer potential for a wine store or hobby space.
Outside, a sweeping gated driveway and a 0.76-acre south-facing garden provide privacy and abundant outdoor room. Mature trees, hedgerows and a small woodland walk create a tranquil setting with historical garden features, including a carved stone head linked to Sir Isaac Newton.
Practical points to note: the property’s listed status brings planning and maintenance obligations and may restrict alterations. Council tax is high (band G). The home previously served other uses and will require ongoing conservation-sensitive upkeep to preserve its character. For buyers seeking an iconic, historic home with scope for personalisation and flexible room arrangements, this Manor House is a rare proposition in a very affluent village setting.
