A country estate with an impressive Grade I listed manor house, a Dower house and two cottages, surrounded by outstanding historic gardens. The main house has five reception rooms and nine bedrooms. To the south is a courtyard with a range of stores. To the east is a substantial thatched 17th century Grade II listed stable building with tack room, 2 loose boxes, stores and loft. Between the Stable Block and Dower House is a large red brick garage building with 2 open fronted stores, garaging for up to 8 cars and a workshop and storage above. The formal gardens are laid out in a series of terraces, the lowest terrace comprising the kitchen garden, bordered by neat gravelled paths, and with 2 greenhouses and a potting shed. The middle lawn, also accessed by a stone flagged terrace by the west front, is the Bowling Green. The upper terrace is divided into discrete garden areas with a summer house, tennis court and Grade II listed, 17th century dovecote. To the north of the house is a charming knot garden and a romantic summer house within a high stone wall. Approached over the main drive, and set in over 6 1/2 acres of gardens overlooking the Devil’s Brook, the Grade II listed Dower House, formally the Old Rectory for the Church next door. The house comprises on the ground floor 3 reception rooms, a cloakroom WC, kitchen and boiler room; on the first floor 3 bedrooms and the second floor a further bedroom, bathroom and attic storage. Linked to the house are outbuildings and a charming Coach House with garage bay and former stables. To the east of the Church is The Old School Room, a traditional single-storey building. With access over the farm drive to the west are a pair of semi-detached cottages. To the north of the estate is Peck Mill, a 3-4 bedroom former mill house.
This property is blowing my friggin mind. Not only are you getting a castle but a pile of cottages and outbuildings and tons of land. I would leave to pick up groceries and that is it. An occasional trip to the dentist. Maybe a dinner out every now and then. WOW! For sale via Savills.
