Set on the edge of Uplowman, The Manor is a rare Grade II* Listed home rich in medieval character and generous proportions. The house dates from the 13th century and retains exposed timbers, leaded windows, inglenook fireplaces and original stonework, arranged over well-proportioned reception rooms and three principal bedrooms. South-facing principal rooms and gardens capture light and rural views towards the village church.
Accommodation is presented to a high standard and arranged around a welcoming galleried landing. The bespoke kitchen and substantial utility space make daily living straightforward, while the sitting and dining rooms offer atmospheric entertaining spaces. Outside, almost half an acre of formal lawns, a productive kitchen garden and a gravelled drive provide privacy, parking and practical outdoor space for family life.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II* Listed, which will impose restrictions on alterations and can add cost and complexity to repairs or redecoration. Heating is oil-fired and drainage is to a private system; council tax is in Band F. Although FTTP fibre is available, reported local speeds are currently very slow in practice. The house has just one main bathroom, which may influence family routines.
This house will suit buyers who value historic fabric, generous rooms and a secluded rural setting and who are comfortable with the responsibilities of maintaining a listed property. It offers an exceptional character home with scope to personalise within listed constraints.
