Property description

Manor House offers so many options as a beautiful large family home but there is huge potential for developing the property in other directions too. Manor House sits happily in the present, pays homage to the past and will embrace the futureManor house has an interesting history. The original farmhouse and granary were built during the reign of George IV, circa 1815. The house has had several facelifts since then of course, and was extensively renovated in the 1970's. Manor House still retains many of its historical features with lovely wood beams throughout, a charming higgle-de-piggledy selection of beautiful rooms, and several remarkable fireplaces - some inglenook in style but all telling of a time gone by. Manor house is approx. 5397 sq ft. There are six bedrooms plus a master bedroom with ensuite and its own substantial balcony overlooking the rear garden. There are two large family bathrooms and a sauna. The fitted kitchen is generous and has an interesting central feature plus a large utility and boot rooms. The four reception rooms are all very roomy, especially the main lounge which is the perfect space for a large gathering. The entrance hall from the front door is rather eye-catching too with its own fireplace and room to create a seating area. With wide corridors and quirky layout, this is a really fascinating house and it holds secrets - a miniature pub bar, which is tucked in nicely but is fully equipped and has seating for several people. There are three lofts providing lots of storage for a growing family . Part of the house has the option of being a self-contained annex so the choices of living space are immeasurable. Let's not forget the garden which is huge and lovingly created by the owner and sympathetic to the historic value of the property. There is plenty of off-road parking spaces too with a triple garage and drive.Manor house is in the perfect location. Sharnbrook is probably one of the most popular villages in Bedfordshire, with so much to recommend it. This is a flourishing village with a great selection of shops, clubs, pubs and restaurants. There is a real community spirit too, which is so desirable, especially for those wishing to enjoy a country lifestyle but with good rail and road links for commuting to work. Bedford station is just nine miles away and 55 minutes from London. Education needs are extremely well catered for with the prestigious Sharnbrook Upper School and Community College and the equally respected John Gibbard Lower School. The village also has the Paula Radcliffe Sharnbrook Community Sports Centre, which opened in 2005. But there is more, Sharnbrook has its own theatre; a beautifully formed 200 seater, Sharnbrook Mill Theatre regularly stages productions of a very high standard and, in my opinion, a real asset to the village. Situated on the edge of the village is the multi-national Unilever which has a research centre and the site is currently being turned in to a science park for use by other companies. Surrounded by pretty countryside and the river Ouse meandering through, Sharnbrook truly is a desirable location.
