THE HOUSE:
While the house dates back 400 years, it was sensitively restored and re-developed in 1998, which means the plumbing, electricity, etc are modern. At the same time though, East Manor has kept its original features, including attractive stone arched doorways, stone mullion windows, impressive fireplaces in every room – especially the stunning log burning stove in the living room.
A spacious kitchen/breakfast room creates the area you need for entertaining, cooking or spending time as a family at meal times. For more grand entertaining or dinner parties there is the dining room which is front aspect – you really feel the charm of the building with the floor to ceiling oak panelling.
You’ll also find a large adjacent drawing / reception room – perfect for pre or post dinner drinks and chats.
With high ceilings in most rooms, this home has a very spacious feel to it, yet still feels cosy.
Thanks to its long heritage, the house has charm in abundance, and every single one of the rooms has its own individual character.
There are five generously-sized double bedrooms, including a particularly impressive master suite which benefits from a dressing area and beautiful en-suite bathroom. Two further good size double bedrooms and family bathroom are situated on the first floor off the beautifully bright landing, with stairs rising to the second floor which leads to 2 more double bedrooms.
While parking is easy here, the property also includes two garages located within close proximity.
