The Property

Set within secluded grounds in some of the area s most beautiful surroundings, The Manor House is an exceptional and unique country house, built of red brick under a Welsh slate roof. The current owners have enhanced a truly exceptional family home whilst retaining the many elegant original features throughout.

Accessed from Great Glen Road, and hidden from the roadside, the driveway up to the house meanders through well maintained grounds reaching the large, gravelled horseshoe driveway with ample parking.

The house is well laid out to provide year round entertaining space. On entering the spacious reception hall, the house has a wonderful ambience and abundance of natural light. The proportions are superb, with tall ceilings, flagstone flooring, arched doorway with fan light over the entrance doorway. To the inner hall, a cantilever staircase leads to the first and second floors. The main hallway connects the majority of the principal reception rooms, with the drawing room, a stunning dual aspect room with centrepiece fireplace with Robert Adam marble surround, solid oak flooring, woodburning stove and large sash windows fitted with traditional wooden shutters, overlooking the gardens. The dining room is adjacent and enjoys an intimate feel with its beamed ceiling, cosy wood burning stove and solid oak flooring.

The delightful sitting room, is ideal for family living with a door leading to the garden and woodburning stove with stone surround, creating a cosy nook away from the main reception rooms.
To the end of the hallway is the traditionally styled kitchen breakfast room with a bespoke suite of cabinets, shelving and drawers, and a 4 oven AGA with space for additional electric cooker and an integrated dishwasher. There is plenty of informal dining space. A larder is located close by the kitchen, as is the laundry room.

The first and second floor accommodation is arranged around a split level landing featuring the arched doorways emulating the floor to ceiling height window framing the views over the grounds and provides eight bedrooms, four of which enjoy ensuite facilities and the principal room having access to a fitted dressing room. In addition, there is a separate shower room to the first floor and a further bathroom to the second floor. The second floor accommodation makes an ideal separate area for teenage children or staff.

Outside

The Manor House sits in grounds of approximately 1.2 acres. The discreet setting provides a variety of lovely areas to enjoy the garden and some of the uninterrupted views of the area. The gardens have been thoughtful landscaped by the current owners, each area having its own charm.

The property is accessed via a driveway entrance from Great Glen Road leading to the sweeping gravelled horseshoe driveway which sits to the front elevation of the house with a large lawned foregarden and parking area with access to the side elevations and grounds beyond.

The outdoor entertaining facilities are excellent, with the rear garden enjoying a large loggia, once a dairy, with red brick arches, creating a unique and striking outdoor dining environment with views across the garden. Beyond here, is a sheltered kitchen garden, with raised beds which have recently been commissioned by the current owners. An all weather tennis court is set to the top of the garden, with a delightful sun terrace close by. Furthermore, are some useful outbuildings with power and lighting.
