“An entrance drive leads to a cobbled courtyard surrounded by a number of traditional barns. The house is approached through an archway of the gatehouse wing in the central courtyard.

“A heavy front door leads into an entrance hall, originally probably a through passage. Off the entrance hall is the Great Hall with large open stone fireplace and panelled walls.

“Beyond is a further reception room with doors to a storeroom and rear hallway with reset staircase and door to courtyard. Off the entrance hall, doors lead to additional accommodation comprising drawing room with south facing elevations across the adjoining gardens and farmland, dining room and kitchen. These rooms are serviced by a rear hall which in turn provides access to a semi-circular stair turret which projects into the courtyard.

“On the first floor, the turret stairs lead to an inner landing and ten bedrooms, five of which have en-suite bathrooms plus a further family bathroom. Off the gatehouse wing and connected on both floors, there is a delightful two bedroom cottage that provides additional accommodation.

“The manor is heaped in history, with multiple moulded cross-beam panelling, numerous granite lintels, granite chamfered arches and following works undertaken in the late 19th Century, large granite mullion windows.”
