6 bedroom house for sale

Overview

A substantial Grade II listed former farmhouse set in gardens and grounds approaching half an acre offering spacious characterful accommodation within the pretty and conveniently placed village of East Hagbourne.Dating in part from the mid 17th century with later 19th-century additions, Lower Manor Farmhouse has been in the same family ownership for over 30 years. The property offers versatile accommodation with three large reception rooms and six bedrooms on the first and second floors, in all approaching 3000 square-foot. In addition, there is a substantial double garage and a large workshop/store at the rear of the property. The gardens are a particular feature principally lying to the rear of the house enjoying a high degree of privacy and a southerly aspect.Period properties of this size and nature rarely come to the market and unusually for a house of this type ceiling heights are generous and the layout of the accommodation is eminently practical with a large open plan kitchen and dining room complete with AGA. The present owners have used the main bedroom together with the adjoining bedroom and bathroom as a principal suite but the option to use all six bedrooms independently remains. It should be noted that house has recently been redecorated and partly re-carpeted and is being offered for sale chain free.East Hagbourne is a charming village with a lovely quintessentially English village feel with the Main Street lined with a host of period properties much featured in local artwork and photography.
