Description

Dating back to 1889, Manor House is a striking Victorian brick and flint property brimming with original character and period charm. From its high ceilings and traditional tiled flooring to beautifully preserved architectural details.

Approached through classic cast iron railings and a gate proudly marked with the year of its construction, the property welcomes you beneath a porch to a traditional solid oak front door complete with an original pull doorbell.

Inside, the entrance hall features authentic tiled flooring and leads to both the elegant living room and formal dining room. The living room offers a cosy fireplace and double-aspect windows. The adjoining dining room also includes a fireplace and matching tiled floors.

The kitchen is both stylish and functional, with solid oak worktops, a central island, generous walk-in pantry, wood-burning stove, and tiled flooring.

A spacious ground-floor bathroom features a freestanding roll-top bath and a separate shower cubicle, while the large utility room provides excellent storage and houses the boiler (installed circa 2019) and water tank.

Upstairs, three bedrooms retain the home's original character, each with traditional cast iron fireplaces. Two of the rooms benefit from double-aspect windows, and the third is currently used as a home office/dressing room but would also make a comfortable double bedroom.

Externally, the property enjoys a low-maintenance courtyard garden with convenient access to a private off-road parking space.
