Manor Farmhouse
Manor Farmhouse is a generous, detached family home extending to around 4,993 square foot of accommodation. The house has been well designed and provides a very good flow which is perfect for family living. The house is set in a pretty hamlet, with views to the front across the village green and pond and open countryside behind.

Immediately upon entering the house you are greeted by the magnificent reception hall. This open plan space, with wooden floors, is ideal for use as a dining hall and is perfect for entertaining. The kitchen and family room, which is off the hall, is another wonderful room but equally the heart of the home. There is a well fitted kitchen with a large range of floor and wall mounted cupboards and a large central island. The family room is a bright space with bi-fold doors, opening out into the garden and with views over the countryside beyond.

There is a useful home office and utility room off the kitchen, which in turn links through to the adjoining annexe, with sitting room, kitchenette and shower room on the ground floor and a bedroom on the first floor.

The sitting room is another fabulous room, full of light and an excellent space with woodburning stove and further bi-fold doors opening onto the garden.

On the first floor there are five good double bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite is a large room with wonderful views and features walk-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms which benefit from en suite shower rooms, whilst the other two bedrooms are also generous double bedrooms. These two rooms share the family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
Manor Farmhouse sits within gardens extending to around 0.85 acres, providing both a generous and attractive outdoor space. The house is approached through a 5-bar gate, with a gravel driveway leading up to a parking area beside the house and flanked by lawns. The main garden runs away from the back of the house and is a substantial and private area, mainly laid to lawn, with shrub borders and mature hedging. There are numerous terrace areas around the house which provide delightful spaces for outdoor entertainment.
