" DESCRIPTION
Manor Gardens is a close of just three properties, tucked away off the Main Street, adjacent to, and in the former grounds of, the 17th century Manor House. The elevations of number 1 are red brick beneath a clay tile roof and the elevations are reminiscent of a barn type building, a theme which very much is echoed through the interior. This is the first time 1 Manor Gardens has been for sale, the family had the house built around their specifications in 1995 and blended some beams into the finish, also incorporating a central atrium type hall to reinforce the barn conversion aesthetic.
Said hall has a large coats closet and a galleried staircase at the edge of the dining room, and this whole area sports floorboards. There is a cloakroom with a -Heritage- suite of wc and a wash basin stood on a vanity unit. This end of the hall has a good size family room or third reception room. The kitchen and breakfast room opens into the conservatory, the kitchen with painted timber units and black granite surfaces incorporating a breakfast bar. The dishwasher is integrated and remaining are a -Hotpoint- larder fridgefreezer with a waterice dispenser, and a -Rangemaster- cooking range that has a five ring hob and hotplate and two ovens with a warming tray underneath. Behind is a brushed chrome backplate and above a -Rangemaster extractor hood. To the far wall are a bespoke, hand crafted selection of beautiful wooden cupboards and storage. In here and the kitchen are plinth lighting, and the entire kitchen, breakfast room, and the conservatory have a limestone floor. The conservatory enjoys a lovely view over the garden. It strikes the writer that a modest ground floor extension would create a sumptuous kitchen, dining and entertaining space.
The utility room has two sinks set in a wooden worktop with cupboards below, and a stable door leads to outside. There is a triple aspect to the sitting room and a handsome brick fireplace accommodating a woodburning stove.
On the first floor the landing boasts a fantastic office or study with full length windows across the rear aspect. There is even a feature fireplace (electric) that has a carved surround, tiled slips, and a cast iron grate. The main and guest bedrooms are served by well-equipped contemporary ensuite shower rooms, the main bedroom providing a comprehensive assortment of built in furniture including wardrobes, drawers, top boxes, and bedside cabinets. There is a bathroom and two further double bedrooms, one particularly attractive with a partly vaulted ceiling and whitewashed timbers. The loft is spacious with braced trusses, and it has a boarded floor and lighting.

OUTSIDE
At the front a block paved driveway precedes the double garage, in which is power and light. A deep grass verge and then a path attend the entrance and porch canopy. Gated access to the back of the house is provided either side.
The rear garden is substantial, very private, and dotted with mature trees, the majority growing at the end boundary to maintain a pretty screen. On the fringe of the lawn is a decked seating area and pergola near a fish pond. Flanking the house are a walled courtyard and a shaded patio, and spanning the breadth of the property is a flagstone terrace.
