During the Manor?s refurbishment it seems that the current owners retained as many original features as they could, such as the leaded lights, raised oak window seats, exposed timbers, panelled walls and carved fireplaces.
Outside, the six-bedroom house is surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens, extending to just over one acre, as well as several outbuildings and a lodge annexe that comprises a bedroom, shower room, living room and gym.

Sam Butler, senior partner at the handling estate agents Butler Sherborn, is impressed by the house?s history: ?The Manor was mentioned in the Domesday book, however none of this earlier property remains today. It is therefore particularly good to see that this fine 17th century house, in the place of the original, has been restored to an exceptionally high standard, preserving the integrity of the building and its future for generations to come.?
