A beautifully refurbished 3 bedroom portion of a Jacobean manor, set within just over an acre of gardens.
Henney HouseBeautifully and carefully refurbished throughout, the grade II listed Henney House is the eastern wing of the Jacobean manor house formerly known as Hanchurch Manor which dates back as far as the 17th century. Substantially altered and remodelled in the 19th century by famous architect, Sir Charles Barry, noted for his work on the Houses of Parliament, Henney House retains a range of period features including original leaded windows, stone mullions and diagonally set brick stack chimneys. A fully glazed porch opens to the stunning kitchen dining room. Extending to over 44 feet long, this exceptional space is filled with natural light via the bi folding doors and the glass atrium to the ceiling. A dining area at one end leads on to the kitchen area which offers a range of painted wall, floor and island cabinetry all set under a granite worksurface. A black enamelled four oven Aga offers an excellent focal point, whilst there is also an integrated dishwasher. A doorway off the end of the dining area leads to the dual aspect snug / study which is a well-proportioned second reception room, whilst a pair of fully glazed doors leads off the kitchen dining room to the central hallway. A door opens off one side of the hallway to the beautifully curated sitting room with wood block parquet floor, central gas fireplace and delightful front facing views across adjoining countryside. A further door leads off the hallway which leads to a useful boot room and guest WC. A wide oak staircase rises from the hallway to the first floor landing. The principal suite is vast and offers lovely dual aspect views over the gardens and surrounding countryside, whilst also benefitting from a spacious en suite with double shower. Opposite the principal suite, the landing provides access to a first floor balcony area which enjoys glorious views. The guest suite again offers an en suite shower room, whilst the third bedroom is currently used as a dressing area with laundry room off. This space could easily be converted back to bedroom accommodation with an en suite replacing the current laundry room.

At the end of the formal gardens is a delightful orchard area, which leads down to a hardstanding area which has direct vehicular access from the main driveway.In all the plot totals 1.18 acres.
