To the manor born

Connells is offering a rare opportunity for someone to be become their very own ‘Lord of the Manor' with the sale of an impressive seven bedroom house in the sought after village of Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire. The Manor House, which is in the catchment area of the popular Sharnbrook Upper School, offers extensive living accommodation with many original features.

The tone is set immediately on entering the property into a spacious hallway with stone inglenook fireplace, exposed stone walls and beamed ceiling, features which are repeated throughout the ground floor accommodation. As well as an impressive lounge, separate dining room and large family room there is even a bar room, a replica of a cosy pub with wood panelled walls, corner and side bench seats, a bar area and wine racks.

An unusual feature of the farmhouse style kitchen is the table fitted around a central support beam in the middle of the room. Doors lead into a utility area which in turn leads into a useful boot room with sink.

A sweeping staircase takes you up to the first floor where you'll find a magnificent master bedroom with no less than seven fitted double wardrobes and patio doors leading to a balcony overlooking the rear garden. The en-suite room has a spa bath as well as a separate shower cubicle and sauna.

There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom with corner bath, shower cubicle and his and hers wash hand basins on this wing. The second wing contains three more bedrooms and another bathroom.

Outside accommodation is equally impressive. As well as a triple garage, an outer courtyard provides parking for four vehicles. Steps lead from the stone built inner courtyard to the beautiful landscaped rear garden which has extensive sweeping lawns and lots of additional features such as raised balcony and planted areas, a pond, stone steps and some impressive shrubs and trees.

"This is a fantastic property in a much sought after village," says Simon Manning, manager of Connells Rushden office. "Sharnbrook is just off the A6, convenient for Bedford, Wellingborough and Northampton, all of which have fast frequent train links to London St. Pancras and on, via Eurostar, to mainland Europe. The village itself is very well served with a pub/restaurant, theatre, church, schools and a variety of shops including a post office and butchers."

Connells are inviting offers in excess of £875,00 for The Old Manor House. To find out more and to make arrangements to view it contact Connells Rushden office.
