A Victorian extension added the study area and then in 2012 the current owners added a new kitchen. This is such a light and airy room with a feature apex glazed area and views to the delightful gardens. ‘We designed the kitchen so that you could have social gatherings but equally have enough space for food preparation’. Set in a quiet and leafy road, the current owners have made changes to reflect their own style and design. The Italian ceramic floor tiles cover the new underfloor heating downstairs and the use of ‘Old English White and Morris Blue ‘ colours are part of the renovation themes. A new bath and shower room upstairs has been designed to create a feeling of space but without losing the wonderful shapes and contours of the original beams running throughout the house. There are two original bread ovens in the house and a wood burning stove. The rooms create a cosy but spacious feel. There are so many places that you can sit and relax or work downstairs; kitchen, study, dining room, music room, or sitting room. The choice is yours. Most rooms have glorious views across the Manor House to the front or the extensive gardens to the rear.
