The Manor House:  This stunning house is a superb example of a Grade II Listed Elizabethan Manor house.  The quality of the house is quite remarkable with so many of the original period details remaining that it has an untouched feel whilst, at the same time, and with great care, the house has been brought up to modern standards.  Some of the period features of the house include the closely studded timber frame which is exposed throughout, the open fireplaces on both the ground and first floors, the windows including an oriel window in the dining room, period doors, flooring of oak, elm and pamment tiles, the list goes on.

It has four rooms on the ground floor, two rooms on the first floor and is currently used for storage. It has both planning and listed consent for restoration to additional living accommodation. More details are available from the Agent's office upon request.
