A rare Grade II* manor house dating from 1694, set within substantial walled gardens and offering almost 5,700 sqft of flexible period accommodation. The house combines principal entertaining rooms with six double bedrooms over four floors, high ceilings, working shutters and attractive fireplaces — ideal for family living and village-centre country life. The stone coach barn, oversized double garage and versatile cellars add practical space and scope for an annexe or home studio, subject to Listed building and planning consents.
The grounds are a major asset: divided ‘garden rooms’, south / south‑west terraces, formal parterres and mature borders provide privacy and excellent entertaining potential. Practical modern upgrades include gas central heating, a 7kW EV charger and Gigaclear fibre broadband, while original character is retained throughout. The large well‑maintained kitchen with vaulted ceiling and high‑spec appliances sits at the heart of the house for everyday family use and hosting.
Important practical notes: the property is Grade II* listed, which will limit alterations and requires specialist consent for any conversion works to the detached barn. Council Tax is in Band G and relatively high. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, historic detailing and the village location with countryside views, plus the potential for sympathetic adaptation where permitted.
