In the heart of the sought-after village of High Easter stands 'Old Manse', a home that tells the story of centuries with elegance and authenticity. The left wing dates back to the 19th century, its solid brick walls exuding timeless solidity, while the right wing showcases an 18th century oak frame, gracefully set upon a brick plinth. In 2007, a striking two-storey green oak extension was added, uniting these historic elements into a single, harmonious residence.
The renovation and restoration were nothing short of meticulous. Every internal and external wall was renewed, with reclaimed bricks carefully selected to preserve the home’s character. Period-style double-glazed sash windows, handmade to order, ensure comfort without compromising authenticity. Inside, solid oak floors, plastered walls, and new doors create a warm, welcoming feel, while underfloor heating runs discreetly beneath, complemented by classic school-style radiators upstairs.
Across the years, the home has been enhanced with thoughtful details: reinstated cast iron fireplaces with wood surrounds, a bespoke oak staircase, a glass Juliet balcony, hardwired sound systems, and a beautifully hand-painted kitchen. Bathrooms have been elegantly updated, and a dressing room with bespoke fitted furniture now graces the main bedroom – complete with a secret door hidden behind a bookshelf. Even the gardens have been refined, with soak-away chambers, mature planting, and multiple seating areas that invite quiet moments or lively gatherings.
Practicality has been equally considered, with a garage and porch, fully wired workshop, additional outbuildings for storage, updated soffits and guttering, and annual boiler servicing ensuring everything runs as smoothly as it looks.
The result is a home where period beauty meets modern ease – a place where every room feels both impressive and inviting.
