An eight-bedroom manor house is on the market for £1.6 million.

The property, in Main Road, Barnstone, is being marketed by Richard Watkinson & Partners.

It is grade II listed and has almost 4,700 square feet of space inside, with up to eight bedrooms and five reception rooms in total.

The listing describes the home as a “handsome, period residence which offers a generous level of internal accommodation comprising the main house and attached cottage”.

There are also additional outbuildings which provide workshop or storage space and, subject to planning permission, could offer scope to expand the accommodation.

The listing continued: “In addition this charming individual home occupies a fantastic plot which approaches an acre and, although located right at the heart of the village, offers a great deal of privacy and affords wonderful panoramic, open views across adjacent fields to the north.

“The property exudes a wealth of character and features which begins with its attractive stone and brick facade beneath a slate roof and internally each room offers its own individuality.

“The main living areas of the residence afford high ceilings, deep skirtings and architraves, period doors and attractive fireplaces.”

The layout of the property is described as “versatile”, with the main house offering up to six bedrooms, with a further two bedrooms in the attached cottage.

Outside is a “well-proportioned plot” of garden and land which surrounds the house on all sides.

The listing added: “Overall this is a fascinating, individual period home within a convenient village setting with viewing coming highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.”
