Manor Farmhouse Dating from the late Georgian period with a Victorian addition, Manor Farmhouse has remained in the same family for the past 70 years and has been the much-loved family home of the current owner for the past 28 years. The house is Grade II listed and is a charming example of a gentleman farmer’s house of the period, built with two storeys of distinctive Flemish-bond brickwork and a Welsh slate roof. It has a classic Georgian south-facing front with tall sash windows to allow natural light to flood into the house and affording views across the surrounding countryside. The house has been extensively refurbished in recent years and is beautifully presented. Internally the house has good- sized rooms with tall ceilings, typical of a house of this age. The house has retained many of its original architectural features such as fireplaces, sash windows with working shutters, decorative coving, dado and picture rails and all refurbishment has been undertaken sympathetically. The house provides a large welcoming reception hall at the heart and an open-plan kitchen/ breakfast area with adjoining conservatory ensuring lots of natural light. There are four principal reception rooms including the entrance hall, drawing room, sitting room and dining room. All are charming rooms and with the smaller study (or playroom) provides excellent living accommodation. The large kitchen/breakfast room, which combines with the conservatory to create a lovely family room, ensures the ground floor is well-suited to both family living and entertaining alike. The kitchen itself has a tiled floor and is fitted with a range of units including a central island, built-in electric appliances, 4-oven AGA and walk-in larder. There is also a large utility/boot room with separate WC and access to the rear yard. The cellars are accessed from the large entrance hall, where there is also a guest cloakroom. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms (one with en-suite shower room), a single bedroom / nursery and a family bathroom in the main part of the house. With space for a 4-poster bed, the master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and dressing room. The sixth and final bedroom is located discretely down some stairs from the entrance hall. It has an en-suite shower room and its own access from the garden. Lichen
