Full Details for 6 Bedroom Detached for sale in Spalding, PE12 :
A substantial double fronted, red brick Georgian Manor House in the rural village of Fleet with six double bedrooms, three reception rooms, farmhouse kitchen and morning room. The property is situated on 1.5 acres of grounds including mature gardens, orchard and a former tennis court. Manor House also has a detached coach house, brick log house, garden store room and spacious parking area.The property is approached from a quiet country road through a gravelled forecourt with metal cast iron railings and a line of cedar trees and yew trees to the front. This finely proportioned house with very large, grand rooms, has an abundance of original features such as the flagstones in the hall with the panelled staircase, Georgian doors, the wonderful original cellar door key, huge sliding sash windows, many of the rooms with their original shutters and panelling, and the majority with original fireplaces. Downstairs there are hefty, structural beams in high ceilings, and interestingly, not cornicing which would have been a feature in grand townhouses rather than in Georgian country houses of this calibre. Upstairs on the landing and in the two master bedrooms original panelling abounds with ornate built-in cupboards and Georgian moulding surrounds the beautiful period 'violin' fireplaces. The fantastic garden surrounding this gorgeous house is mainly laid to lawn with screened hedging at the back. A section is exposed to appreciate the wonderful views of the open countryside. A variety of fruit trees lead up to the wall at the back of the garden. Gravelled walkways framed with ornamental flower beds and shrubberies sweep around the house. A variety of high hedges and a range of mature trees (pine trees, cedars, yew and holly trees) border the former grass tennis court.The old coach house that served the manor is a building that has not yet been utilized. This currently has two floors and a window, and subject to planning, could be converted into an office or studio should someone wish to do so. It is structurally sound and connected to the house by a brick wall through which there is an open archway. TO THE MANOR BORN - \"Finely-proportioned and full of grace are words to describe this wonderful place; restored to perfection with class and with taste, and a rescued big garden makes this little estate. Should you linger around this Georgian house grounds, from a grave in the churchyard there may be some sounds - Henry Welch emitting an affirmative cry: 'This perfect old manor house no better could you buy!'\"
