The Old Manor The Old Manor is a delightful Grade II* Listed manor house with origins dating back to the 15th Century that has been described by Nikolaus Pevsner in his book, The Buildings of England. The house has been sympathetically extended during the 16th and 17th Century.

Attached to the house is a cottage and across the courtyard is a charming thatched office currently used as gym. This means the layout allows for a multitude of purposes and could be altered to accommodate alternative family requirements.

Internally, the principal reception rooms are light and spacious with numerous period features such as exposed beams, stone mullion windows and inglenook fireplaces, which mark its architectural and historical importance . In recent years the vendors have undertaken a number of alterations to the house, including creating a striking family room with vaulted celling and french doors out to a sun terrace suitable for al fresco dining.

Framed by a traditional wall, the gardens are private and secure. Whilst mostly laid to lawn with herbaceous border studded with roses, they are south facing and compartmentalised into formal and family areas. In addition to the fore mentioned thatched office/gym, there is a range of outbuildings and stores. There is also an orchard and vegetable garden with fruit cages.
