INTRODUCTION:

Manor House Farm:

Manor House Farm is an impressive and distinctive Grade II-listed country home, beautifully blending period character with modern refinement. The property dates back to as early as the 16th century with later 18th and 21st century additions. Extensively remodelled and renovated throughout, the home has been finished to an exceptional standard and now offers superb contemporary family living.

Set in a prime position within the village the house is surrounded by formal gardens and private land that offer charming countryside views. This exceptional, light-filled residence offers beautifully arranged, generously proportioned accommodation over three floors, including a " SUPER COOL " purpose-built entertainment space. From the front you enter via the original front door into a striking central reception hall, currently arranged as a dining area, with solid oak beams, parquet flooring and a multi-fuel stove. To one side lies an impressive open-plan dining kitchen with handcrafted Shaker-style cabinetry by Anthony Nixon of Barnard Castle, a central island and an AGA. An inner hall/boot room connects to a Jack and Jill cloakroom with a full-sized dog shower and fitted storage.

The ground floor offers three principal reception rooms, including an elegant dual-aspect drawing room with a stone fireplace and Stovax stove, a charming snug/study with bespoke fitted shelving, and additional versatile living space. Restored cast-iron radiators by Castironrads run throughout. The lower ground floor has an outstanding cinema and entertainment room, complete with a Sony projector, electric screen curtain, fitted bar and DJ booth — equally suited as a substantial home office. Upstairs, a spacious landing/morning room leads to well-appointed bedrooms. Two doubles occupy the left wing, one with a dressing room and en suite, alongside a luxurious family bathroom finished with Lapicida tiles, a copper roll-top bath and matching basin. The right wing is dedicated to the principal suite, offering a walk-in dressing room and en suite bathroom, along with two further double bedrooms, one with its own en suite.

Curlew Cottage:

The recently refurbished annexe has its own private entrance and offers well-appointed, self-contained accommodation. The ground floor comprises an open-plan dining kitchen with bespoke Shaker-style cabinetry, marble work surfaces and a central island, together with a comfortable sitting room with a log-burning stove and an additional reception room overlooking the surrounding land. Upstairs are two generously sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower.

Externally, the property features a private patio seating area and dedicated parking, making Curlew Cottage ideally suited as an independent dwelling.

Gardens and grounds:

Gates open onto a gravel driveway leading to a generous front parking area with direct access to the garage. A secondary sweeping drive continues to the side and rear, providing additional parking and access to the substantial dual-aspect garage.

The beautifully maintained gardens extend predominantly to the front and side of the property and are fully enclosed. Designed as formal garden "rooms" with established yew hedging, they feature thoughtfully positioned seating terraces to capture the sun throughout the day, an ornamental pond and a charming stone bothy — creating a private and picturesque setting ideal for entertaining. An additional internal courtyard with a central water feature offers a sheltered and tranquil space for outdoor dining and relaxation.

In total, the grounds extend to 9.31 acres, including fully fenced grass paddocks well suited to equestrian use. A large, fully insulated garage (17.77m x 5.67m) with electric roller doors at both ends and electric heating provides extensive storage and parking.

Positioned away from the main residence is a substantial steel portal-framed agricultural building, offering versatile potential and possible conversion to residential accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. A further open-sided agricultural building currently provides stabling.
