A delightful, period home, with versatile accommodation of surprising proportions, within a south-facing, walled garden and useful annex, set a short walk from Market Place.

The Property
Manor House is a fascinating, Grade II listed building with origins dating back to the 16th Century. Over the years parts of the property have had a variety of uses including a brew house, a drapery and a guest house. Its name comes from the fact that the Biggin Estate owned the property in 1821 and the property was referred to as the Manor’s House. This interesting home offers versatile living space behind its ancient facade. In recent years, the property has been carefully restored and improved, whilst retaining many of the original features, such as mullioned windows, quarry tiled floors and traditional pine doors. The accommodation is laid out over two floors and offers three comfortable living rooms and a great kitchen. The dining room has doors out to the garden. There is a useful utility room, a cloakroom and a cellar.
There are two staircases to the first floor, providing access to the four double bedrooms and the two, well-appointed bathrooms.

The property enjoys private, walled, South-facing gardens, with lawn, well-stocked borders, and a vegetable garden with raised beds. The deck is set to capture the afternoon and evening sunlight. Within the garden is an annexe which makes great over-flow guest accommodation but also has letting, or home office potential. This comprises a comfortable double bedroom with ensuite shower room, and a studio / office or sitting room. The adjacent workshop could be connected to create a kitchen.
