The Property :

Manor Farm is believed to date from the 1930s and is constructed of brick under a tiled roof, one wing being beneath a mansard roof. The upper elevations feature hung tiles. The site was well chosen, the house capitalising on the attractive outlook to the south and west over the gardens and grounds, the two wings of the house embracing a wide terrace, upon which the conservatory opens. This elevation is adorned by a magnificent Wisteria. There is a very good relationship between the house and its grounds.

The house is approached via a wide gravel sweep which continues past the property to serve the extensive stables and barns. There is also a manége.

The accommodation within the property is versatile, one part having previously formed an annex, however at present the accommodation forms one dwelling. Internally the property offers comfortable well laid outliving space with spacious drawing room and dining room, well fitted kitchen and, on the first floor, six bedroom and three bathrooms.

To the south-west of the house is an outdoor swimming pool set in a tiled surround. The formal gardens, which are principally laid to lawn, give way to adjoining paddocks which fall away gently to the south-west and incorporate a lake.

The grounds extend in total to 16 acres.

LOT 2 – A further 10 acres of Paddock is available by separate negotiation.
