The Manor is a unique find. This Grade II Listed property, which sits in the heart of a conservation area, was built c.1832. When the current owner first visited The Manor, she instantly felt she belonged and it is easy to see why ? this impressive home welcomes you, appearing through the trees as you travel along the sweeping driveway. Despite being built in the Regency period, the architecture is undeniably Georgian. The yellow brick elevations aren\‘t a common feature of the area and give the property a stylised, bespoke finish. The white marble doorsteps of Italian origin lead to the portico which features the original cast iron filigree gates and front door ? this home really does offer an opulent segment of history. The \‘Golden Drawing Room\‘ is one of the most lived-in rooms in the house. With the Fitzwilliam Fireplace and lovely views over the grounds, enjoying a cup of coffee in this elegant room is a great start to any day. This space encapsulates a certain era, and in fact this property as a whole offers respite from the rush of modern life, introducing more appreciative pace. The Manor\‘s secluded, tranquil life has given the current owner years of contentment.A significant feature of The Manor is the bespoke cast iron ornamental fountain positioned at the front of the property, suiting its age and grandeur. The centrepiece, which features two cherubs, was imported from Italy. With four characterful, landscaped gardens there is ample opportunity to enjoy the outside space. Shelter can be found under more than 100 trees which make up the grounds ? in fact, whatever your mood, you can indulge in the abundance of space The Manor offers. You can enjoy decadent afternoon teas by the fountain, read a book in the north garden enjoying the smell of roses and the bubbling water, or play with the children as they run wild in the rear garden. Part of the unique charm of this property is the pure white Logan doves which live in the dovecotes; there is now a small flock which also belong to The Manor. This is a home for all the seasons. Christmas in particular is bound to be special at The Manor; gatherings of family and friends fit perfectly into the spacious rooms, and the high-ceilings are ideal for adding a substantial Christmas tree. Being a mere 10 minutes from the coast, and in particular close to the Royal Harbour at Ramsgate, the location has also given the current owner a great deal of pleasure. Tucked behind the automatic gates, The Manor enjoys a semi-rural location on The Isle of Thanet which has a vibrant present and a rich past ? a perfect setting for a wonderful home. Located on the Isle of Thanet and under 2 miles from the coast, The Manor is situated at the beginning of the main dual carriageway for the A2/M2 direct to London with Birchington mainline train station being approximately 1.6 mile away providing direct links to London.
