Wavendon Road, Salford, MILTON KEYNES, MK17

A beautifully presented Queen Anne Listed Manor House enjoying an idyllic setting in the heart of the village.

Salford Manor is a fine example of a Grade II Listed property dating from the early 18th century and enjoying a very private position in the heart of the village. The property is approached over a gravelled drive edged by a clipped yew hedge which sweeps past the front of the house and leads to the Coach House, traditional outbuildings and detached cottage situated to the side. The Manor enjoys a central position in a semiparkland setting with stunning views over its own grounds and beyond, and is adjacent to the 13th century Church of St Mary The Virgin.
This imposing country residence has been well maintained, is presented in excellent condition and provides comfortable family accommodation. There is considerable scope for large scale entertaining.
The Manor retains much of its original character and charm with the main accommodation on the ground and upper two floors. All principal rooms enjoy wonderful views over the extensive grounds. In recent years the Manor has been sympathetically extended to provide a wonderful kitchen with an orangery enjoying stunning views over the rear grounds and providing a link to the Coach House. Within the grounds there is a separate two bedroom cottage, along with a one bedroomed annexe above the triple garage.
Salford Manor is the perfect country residence and a viewing will be essential to appreciate its qualities and setting.
