Occupying a commanding and highly prominent corner position on Church Street, The Manse is an exceptional Grade II listed period home of considerable scale and historical interest. The property offers extensive and beautifully maintained accommodation extending to approximately 4,645 sq ft, arranged over three floors with the added benefit of a cellar.
The current owners have been in residence for over 30 years and have sympathetically maintained and improved the property, creating a comfortable and highly versatile family home that blends period charm with practical day-to-day living.
The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the space and character found throughout. The ground floor provides a superb range of reception rooms. A charming dual aspect snug, complete with fireplace, offers a cosy retreat, while a further reception room—currently utilised as a dining room/office—also benefits from a fireplace and provides excellent flexibility. A separate playroom adds further versatility, ideally situated adjacent to the kitchen.
The principal living room is particularly impressive—an expansive triple aspect space featuring a striking dual fireplace and French doors opening onto the garden, allowing for excellent natural light and a strong connection to the outside. From here, stairs rise to a remarkable vaulted games/family room with exposed timbers and a library area, creating a wonderful additional living space with a unique sense of character and volume.
The kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively fitted with bespoke cabinetry and ample workspace, thoughtfully arranged to create a sociable and functional hub of the home. A pantry and utility cupboard complete the practical elements of the ground floor. Beneath the stairs, there is access to a useful cellar providing further storage.
Stairs rise to a generous landing which gives access to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly noteworthy, measuring approximately 24ft, featuring partial exposed timbers and benefitting from a large ensuite bathroom. Bedroom two is equally attractive, with a vaulted ceiling adding further character. The remaining bedrooms are all of good size and served by a luxurious family bathroom.
The second floor provides two additional bedrooms, offering flexible accommodation which could suit a variety of needs. One of these rooms is currently arranged as a sewing room but could equally serve as a bedroom, study or hobby space.
Externally, the property enjoys a delightful south-easterly facing walled garden, well-stocked with established planting and maintained lawn. A private terrace provides the perfect spot for outdoor seating and al fresco dining.
The property benefits from a gated driveway accessed via Albert Place, providing parking for a vehicle and leading to a double tandem cart lodge. In addition there is a store room which can be converted as a home office if needed and can be accessed via Church Street.
The Manse represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and historically significant home, offering a wealth of original features, generous living space and excellent versatility, all set within an attractive and convenient location.
