Old Manor Farm is a Grade II* listed country house is set within 10.5 acres of rolling pasture and is steeped in history. The property has two entrances, offering flexible access. Over the past seven years, the current owners have made significant improvements while preserving its historic character.Old Manor Farm is recorded in Nikolaus Pevsner's The Buildings of England for its exceptional craftsmanship and architectural significance. The house has served as a courthouse and the residence of the Lord of the Manor, and today retains many original period details.Notable features include a panelled drawing room (formerly the courtroom), a hamstone fireplace, carved beams, original oak doors, flagstone floors, and a spiral stone staircase. The house has been sympathetically improved, blending historic charm with modern comfort.The main house offers 4,676 sq ft of accommodation, with well-proportioned rooms and flexible living areas.The current owner had Planning Permission granted (now lapsed) for a large utility/boot room and downstairs cloakroom together with a generous separate garden/games room to the right of the property, in the back garden.There are two large cottages, currently used as one four bedroom residence, and a separate one bedroom cottage/office with a garage. These offer potential for guest accommodation, rental income, or multigenerational living. The extensive ancillary accommodation gives fantastic scope for generous guest accommodation, rental income or multigenerational living. An opportunity to consider would be to join the main house to the cottages with the appropriate Planning Permission in place.The beautiful formal gardens are enclosed by traditional stone walls and lie to the south of the main house. They have been thoughtfully planted and provide colour and interest throughout the year.The property provides a range of modern equestrian facilities. The Monarch barn, built in 2018, has twelve bays. Originally configured as eight stables, a wash and dry bay, and tack and feed rooms, it has been adapted to four stables, a store, and a spacious area for a flower and gift business. Large doors at either end and a 'daylight' roof provide natural light and ventilation.
