Description
A distinguished Grade II listed manor house standing in beautifully established gardens and grounds of about 14 acres, with a substantial coach house, extensive outbuildings and pastureland. It offers a remarkable sense of space and versatility. Northend Manor is an impressive country house occupying a rural setting in rolling countryside close to the Warwickshire / Oxfordshire borders. Dating from the 16th century and of architectural and historic significance, the property has evolved over centuries into a substantial family home of considerable character, offering an increasingly rare combination of period integrity, ancillary accommodation and land.
Approached through wrought iron gates and a traditional courtyard entrance, the manor immediately conveys a feeling of permanence and heritage. Ironstone elevations, mullioned windows, climbing roses and wisteria, and an abundance of mature planting create an exceptionally attractive setting, while the surrounding land provides both privacy and an enduring connection to the landscape. The house enjoys a fascinating history, having formed part of the wider Willoughby de Broke estate. Believed to have been constructed during the 16th century and subsequently enlarged in the 17th century, Northend Manor has long been woven into the fabric of the local landscape and remains a property of genuine provenance.
The accommodation is arranged around a welcoming reception hall with its substantial fireplace, timber panelling and fine oak staircase establishing an immediate sense of scale and character. The principal rooms are elegant and well proportioned, including a superb drawing room with windows to three elevations and a dining room centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace. Together they provide excellent entertaining space whilst remaining entirely suited to everyday family life.The kitchen / breakfast room is arranged around an oil-fired aga and central island with adjoining utility and boot rooms.
Beyond, the accommodation extends to seven bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with dressing room and en suite bathroom. Additional rooms, including a sitting room and office, offer flexibility for modern requirements. A self-contained flat, ground floor flat with its own sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, offers excellent secondary accommodation for dependent relatives, guests or staff.
Northend Manor is a country house of genuine substance: Distinguished not only by its architectural heritage and history, but also by the scale of its ancillary accommodation and the beauty of its gardens. It is an increasingly rare offering, equally suited as a principal family home, a multi-generational residence or small country estate.
The Coach House - Complementing the principal house is an impressive converted Coach House, built of matching ironstone and arranged as a substantial secondary dwelling. The focal point is a magnificent double-height reception room with exposed beams and open-plan living space. Additional reception rooms, kitchens and four bedrooms create a highly versatile secondary dwelling, equally suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or for income generating potential. Whilst currently used as one unit, it has scope to be split into two, subject to any necessary consents, offering further potential and returns.
Gardens, Grounds and Outbuildings - The gardens and grounds are among the property’s defining attributes. Formal lawns unfold from the house towards carefully composed garden rooms, creating a sequence of distinct yet connected spaces - a delightful setting for entertaining and outdoor enjoyment. Particularly notable is the parterre garden, with mature yew hedging, gravel pathways and clipped box topiary. Beyond lies an arboretum planted with specimen trees, while a separate wildlife garden incorporates ornamental pools, water features, mature planting and peaceful seating areas. A rose-covered pergola leads towards the all-weather tennis court and oak-framed viewing pavilion, with a long-established orchard beyond. Together the grounds possess both structure and maturity, creating an environment that feels private, established and enduring. Beyond the formal gardens, approximately 10.8 acres of grassland paddocks, with separate road access extends the enjoyment of the property and offers opportunities for equestrian or smallholding interests. A substantial range of traditional outbuildings includes stable blocks with ten loose boxes together with stores, workshops and ancillary buildings, all arranged around a separate courtyard. There could be potential for alternative uses, subject to necessary consents. The property also benefits from significant gravel parking areas areas and a garage.
