Summary

Wright Marshall have great pleasure in offering for sale the property known as Ravensclough Manor House which is offered for sale as a whole or in separate Lots by Private Treaty. Ravensclough Manor House is a large individual family home which was built by the present occupier to a high and exact standard. It is approached via Waste Lane which leads to the entrance of the property through an arched opening that then leads to a large turning and parking area with central fountain and well established borders. The property is well screened and stands in fantastic grounds totalling approximately two acres. The extensive lawned gardens and woodland backdrop with ponds and pathways is sure to impress and is likely to appeal to a number of buyers. In brief the Manor House comprises an entrance vestibule, hallway, cloakroom, study, open plan lounge with feature fireplace and dining area, large kitchen, conservatory and utility on the ground floor. On the first floor is a master bedroom with en suite bathroom, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. There are also two further bedrooms which currently form the Granny flat (unable to gain access during inspection) but believe it to comprise of a separate external access, open plan lounge & kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. There is also a large separate outbuilding which is currently divided into a two bedroom cottage and three flats generating a healthy rental income when fully occupied. The flats are currently tenanted on Assured Shorthold Tenancy & Statutory Periodic Agreements, the cottage was vacant at the time of inspection. The sale of the property will also appeal to those with an equestrian interest as there is also approximately 18 acres of land including stable area and access track also gained off the A49, a range of stables, tack room, turn out area and ménage. Again, this currently generates an income of approximately £23,000 per annum through a range of farming activities and DIY livery. The property is likely to appeal to a number of buyers including families, those with equestrian interests, investors/developers and those looking to start or run a business from home. It may also appeal to those who are thinking of starting a bed and breakfast business or similar, all of which would be subject to any necessary planning permissions being obtained if so required.
