Property description
PART EXCHANGE CONSIDERED!!!! Why would anyone want to ever leave a property as magnificent as this? This property sits in a plot in excess of 9 acres and the magnificent detached farmhouse certainly lives up to its grand name. Manor Farm has been beautifully restored to an exacting and impeccable specification. The attention to detail is sublime and the property retains a great deal of its period charm and features. The principal house comprises of entrance porch, entrance hall, three large reception rooms, a vast kitchen diner, stunning glass garden room, utility room and wet room. To the first floor is a stunning master bedroom with luxurious en-suite and a balcony off, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. To the second floor are two very large bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, a third bedroom and luxury family bathroom. But with this property the inside is just the beginning. There is a superb attached barn with potential to be converted to an annexe, a gym, office or similar, subject to the necessary planning permissions, as well as a further detached barn with the same potential across the way. The property sits in an exclusive garden plot with separate nature pond and gardens. Most of the land is fenced off into four substantial well-presented paddocks and there is a modern agricultural building with stables which would make an excellent American-style barn, hay store and tractor storage. This property really is one in a million!
