Description
A stone under tile six bedroom former farmhouse with a range of attached and detached outbuildings in need of modernisation on a plot extending to approximately 0.5 acres in total. Manor Farm includes on the ground floor an entrance hall, a drawing room, a dining room, a sitting room, a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, and a downstairs shower room. The first floor has six bedrooms with an en suite bathroom and a family bathroom. There is a full staircase to two attic rooms with potential for additional accommodation.
The property has an attached barn and various outhouses in the garden which might provide scope for further accommodation. Although the property is in need of modernisation, it does retain authentic features including sash windows with shutters and panelled reveals, window seats and the original cellar.
The property has oil fired central heating.

The kitchen/breakfast room also has a dual aspect with a door leading to the garden and a range of base and wall mounted units as well as an Aga, an electric oven, and a hob. There is space and plumbing for a dishwasher and a freestanding fridge and freezer.
Outbuildings and Outside A gated yard has off street parking for eight to ten cars, as well as the outbuildings which provide garaging for three cars, as well as storage or workshop space. An attached outbuilding offers scope for conversion to further accommodation (subject to the necessary consents). The rear gardens are mainly laid to lawn with an orchard.
