Description

Formerly the Manor House of the Manor of Ickenham, this exceptional Grade I listed home is a property of historical significance.

With origins dating back to the 14th century, it is widely believed to be the oldest surviving dwelling in Middlesex still in domestic use. Originally constructed as a four-bay open hall house, the property has evolved over the centuries with substantial additions in the 15th, 17th, and 18th centuries, all of which contribute to its rich architectural character.

The current layout is detailed in the accompanying floorplans.

The house has been meticulously maintained and adapted for modern living.

Throughout, the house is steeped in period charm, retaining an abundance of original features including exposed timber beams, panelling, and striking fireplaces. Generously proportioned rooms and particularly impressive ceiling heights on the ground floor provide a sense of grandeur and timeless elegance rarely found in properties of this age.

Studio/Annexe

A versatile and highly practical addition to the estate, the detached studio/annexe offers a large open-plan office or living space with a vaulted ceiling, kitchenette, and cloakroom. It is ideal for home working or other uses subject to consent. Adjoining the annexe is a two-bay car port with an electric vehicle charging point, alongside a useful workshop.

Gardens and grounds

Ickenham Manor is discreetly approached via a quiet lane off Long Lane, with access through electric gates leading to a private driveway, passing the studio/annexe before arriving at the main house.

The beautifully maintained gardens extend to lawned areas surrounded by mature specimen trees, well-stocked borders, and colourful floral beds. Of particular note are the remaining sections of the original moat—designated a Scheduled Monument—adding further historical interest to the grounds. The formal gardens are partially enclosed by charming old walls, while the broader lawns offer a peaceful, parkland-like setting. To the west of the house lies a well-kept hard tennis court, completing this exceptional country home.
