Description:
Description The Manor House is Grade I listed and according to the listing was built in 1547 for Peter Sainthill, a local MP. The house has evolved over the years, and was extended in the 17th century when the cross wings were added. In the 18th century the hall was remodelled and The Manor House now stands as an elegant country residence with a superb approach, wonderful views over its lake and surrounded by magical gardens. Wrought iron electric gates open into a sweeping private driveway, revealing views of the impressive symmetrical southeast façade with sash windows. The drive sweeps around between the front of the house and the lake, to a neatly positioned parking and turning area. First impressions are excellent and the 18th century dining hall sets the tone for the rest of the house in terms of proportions, detailing and comfort. Pevsner described the dining hall as ‘a noble, restrained, classical room’ and there are two magnificent pillars on one side, as well as panelling and cornicing. There is space for a large dining table, ensuring this is an ideal room for entertaining, with stunning views over the terrace garden, front lawn and lake. Perhaps the most important room on the ground floor is the 16th century ‘Job’ room, an exceptionally well preserved drawing room with a decorative plaster ceiling with pomegranate panels and oak panelling throughout. The overmantle to the stone fireplace forms the focal point of the room, intricately carved with a narrative of episodes from Job’s trials and tribulations. There are large stained glass windows ensuring optimum natural light. Next to the ‘Job’ room is the library - an ideal space for a home office or study. Noticeable throughout is the manageable and welcoming feel of this home and the improvements that have been made under the tenure of the current owners have brought the Manor House firmly into the 21st century whilst maintaining the abundance. Still available at ListedBuy!
