Parkside Manor is an imposing five-bedroom country house set within about 3.58 acres of mature grounds, approached by a private sweeping driveway. Built in 1974, the property offers generous room sizes across multiple storeys, formal lawns, a private lake and outbuildings including a four-stable block and double garage — ideal for families with equestrian interests or buyers seeking a substantial rural lifestyle home.
The house includes extensive leisure facilities: an indoor swimming pool complex with sauna and two shower rooms, a gym/games room (with annex potential), farmhouse-style kitchen with breakfast area, elegant drawing room with inglenook fireplace and a galleried landing. Accommodation totals around 4,387 sq ft and includes five double bedrooms and four bathrooms, giving flexibility for guest suites or home working and leisure spaces.
There is clear scope to modernise and personalise several areas to current tastes. The property is heated by oil-fired central heating and will need ongoing maintenance typical of a large country home; buyers should allow budget for updating services and decorative work. Broadband speeds are very slow in this location and council tax is described as very expensive, both material considerations for everyday living.
For buyers wanting more land, Lot 2 (an additional c.34.80 acres including pasture, woodland and a Dutch barn) is offered separately for an additional £500,000, creating a rare opportunity for expanded equestrian, agricultural or privacy-focused holdings. Overall, Parkside Manor will appeal to families, equestrian owners or purchasers seeking a private, adaptable country estate within convenient road links to regional centres.
