The Property
Manyara meaning 'to be humbled', is a handsome semi detached Edwardian residence with notes of Arts & Crafts, believed to have been built around 1902 and set in gardens of approximately 1.1 acres. The property is in need and worthy of refurbishment, with great proportions, good natural light and many original and attractive features including sash windows, high ceilings, decorative cornicing and original fireplaces and doors. A stained glass Art Nouveau door leads into the attractive reception hall from which the accommodation is arranged over three floors with additional cellar rooms. On the first and second floor are six bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate shower room, two of the first floor bedrooms have access to a lovely balcony at the front with views across the valley. The ground floor comprises an elegant sitting room with folding glazed doors opening through to a second similar reception room. The kitchen and breakfast room are ideally situated at the rear with a traditional pantry and access to the gardens. The property was extended to the side in the 1970's and this provides flexible accommodation recently used as a study and beyond this a boot room and cloakroom/wc. A family games/hobby room has a separate access from the patio.

Outside
The property is approached from the Alkham Road via a private driveway that leads to the detached double garage and provides parking for several vehicles. The grounds extend in excess of an acre sweeping around the house and merging into an area of woodland to the east. The main areas of garden are made up of lawns with an abundance of mature shrubs and trees. On the higher ground at the rear is an area of flat lawn which was originally a grass tennis court. A charming sheltered patio wraps around the rear elevation.
