HANDSOME & HERITAGE

Nestling at the end of a quiet lane in the centre of a beautiful Rutland water village, sits a handsome, honey coloured, Grade II listed house made into a warm and inviting home filled with character and charm.



Welcome to Manton House…





Open the ancient wooden door, step inside and admire the flagstone floor worn smooth by footsteps over time. To your left is the first of the large reception rooms with lead mullion and stained glass windows.



As you make your way along the hallway, you'll pass an aperture opening into the drawing room that adds interest and maintains a sense of openness between the two zones. Next you'll find the laundry room, a cloakroom and side door to outdoors - handy for muddy boots, muddy paws, shopping and the weekend's chores!



Further along the hallway, an inner lobby area creates a stylish yet practical place to take boots on and off, conveniently located next to a doorway opening onto a pretty walled garden. Here clipped boxus, scented lavender and elegant standard bay trees line the gravel pathway guiding you to the vegetable garden, parking area and garages.



Back inside, a recent addition brings light and space into the open plan sitting room and sun-drenched breakfast area where French doors and windows allow a peaceful and attractive outlook onto the walled garden.



Slip through the archway and head into your country style kitchen where oak beams bring a sense of history to this practical kitchen space. A large centralised island creates a striking focal point and provides the perfect spot for friends and family to gather.



For celebrating and parties with more guests, the dining room can comfortably accommodate a generous dining table and chairs, making it a perfect, light-filled space for entertaining in all seasons with French doors and a cosy wood burning stove.



The curved arched ceiling beneath the thatched roof above makes a statement and creates a charming backdrop for the sun room at the opposite end to allow a restful spot for that early morning coffee or nightcap. Just add twinkling candles, a lovingly prepared meal and friends - this is where lifelong memories are made.



Walking back through the kitchen and past a door opening onto the garden, retire for the evening into the drawing room with its elegant proportions and aspect over the gardens from the period sash windows. Pop another log onto the wood burning stove, settle back into your deep cushioned sofa and relax.

AND SO TO BED...

On the first floor you will find your large master bedroom with spa like en suite bathroom, two further double bedrooms, a cloakroom and an impressive family bathroom where deep sills and shelving provide a practical and seamless feel and a freestanding washstand with counter top basin creates a relaxed finish.



On the second floor you will find the two rooms have been transformed into a wonderful teenage friendly zone with a bedroom and study area, a further double bedroom and en suite shower room.

TIME TO EXPLORE

The adventure continues outdoors...in amongst the rolling lawn and mature trees and shrubs there are inviting entertaining areas dotted about with a large terrace, a barbecue area with pizza oven and a thatched gazebo for al fresco entertaining.



Over the ancient high wall the unusual and very charming double bell cote of historical St. Mary's Church can be seen and admired.
