Martels Manor is an imposing Grade II listed medieval country residence set within about four acres of formal lawns, woodland, orchard and water features. The house offers six generous reception rooms and seven double bedrooms across approximately 4,150 sq ft, arranged for comfortable family living and entertaining. Several rooms enjoy views over the moat, terrace and mature grounds while a triple garage, cart lodge and extensive outbuildings provide abundant storage and workshop space.
The house is well presented for its age and retains period character — exposed beams, stone fireplaces and an Aga-equipped kitchen — making it a turnkey country home for buyers who value history and space. Practical estate‑style features include automated wrought‑iron entrance gates, a private drive with extensive parking, a hard tennis court and productive kitchen garden and orchard.
Note the property’s Grade II listing, which preserves historic fabric but will restrict alterations and extensions; consent will be required for many changes. Heating is oil-fired and drainage is private; the property is EPC exempt. Council Tax is Band H, reflecting the size and running costs of this estate.
This house will particularly suit a family seeking seclusion and formal grounds close to excellent local schools, or a buyer looking for an historic country home with scope to manage and enhance ancillary buildings. Sensitively planned works will need listed‑building consent, but the estate offers substantial outdoor amenity and flexible ancillary accommodation for vehicles, storage or hobbies.
