Summary - MARLEY HOUSE RATTERY SOUTH BRENT TQ10 9JX
4 bed 4 bath Semi-Detached
Historic manor with extensive private grounds and communal estate facilities.
Over 5,000 sq ft across four floors with grand period reception rooms
Marley House is an exceptional four-bedroom residence set within a historic Georgian mansion, arranged over four floors and providing over 5,000 sq ft of accommodation. The principal rooms are grand and well-preserved: a magnificent entrance hall with Ionic colonnades and cantilevered staircase, very large reception rooms, bespoke kitchen with oil-fired Aga, and a suite of principal rooms that retain period detail. The master suite and three further double bedrooms are all en-suite, giving flexible family or guest accommodation.
The property sits in about 13.9 acres of private grounds with access to a further 11 acres of communal parkland, woodland and a hard tennis court, plus a detached triple garage and gated sweeping drive with fountain. Practical services include oil-fired central heating, shared private borehole water (with mains backup), shared drainage, and allocated parking. The lease is long (999 years) and the buyer will hold a share of the freehold via the estate management company.
Important practical considerations: Marley House is Grade II* listed — this brings both historic character and statutory obligations which will affect alterations and maintenance. The estate service charge is substantial (around £8,845 in 2025) though it covers water, drainage, buildings insurance, exterior decoration, roof and grounds maintenance. The property has an EPC Band F and relies on oil heating; broadband is described as very slow in the area. The lease prohibits holiday lets but allows long-term lets.
This house will suit purchasers seeking a rare period home with grand entertaining spaces, extensive grounds and shared estate facilities, and who are comfortable with listed-building constraints, ongoing service costs, and some practical limitations on modern connectivity.
