Description
Old Manor Farmhouse is an impressive, Grade II Listed village house
which has been carefully restored by the current owners to provide
a comfortable four bedroom family home, with potential to extend
the accommodation into the attic space if required. The property,
which is believed to date from around 1600, boasts a wealth of
character and unusual features throughout. These features include
exposed timbers throughout, some exposed floor boards, mullion
windows and fireplaces. Great care was taken during the restoration
when replacing materials, and windows were copied from the existing
to ensure authenticity. Some of the unusual features include the
main staircase from the Reception Hall, a raised 'viewing platform'
on the first floor landing, and an apotropaic mark in the Sitting
Room. The gardens and grounds extend to around 1.5 acres, with the
house standing centrally within them, the gardens include sweeping
lawns, a sun terrace and numerous mature trees. A further feature
of the gardens is a 'stream', which partially bisects the front
