Property description
This magnificent Grade II Listed Manor House stands majestically above the main part of the village and enjoys superb views over open farmland to the distant hills. This unique and historic building dates back to 1575-1585 and during its time has had many uses including a small country house hotel and now once again a family home. The whole property is charming, historic and highly adaptable. Each room has its own character and the whole has a feeling of space and tranquillity. Outside there are beautifully cared for grounds with formal gardens interspersed with quiet places to sit. There is also an outdoor swimming pool. Note: Across the drive is a two bedroomed cottage which can also be included in the sale by separate negotiation.
