Originally dating from the mid-18th century, the house has been thoughtfully updated by the current owners, retaining a wealth of period character alongside beautifully finished interiors. The accommodation is generous and versatile, flowing from elegant reception rooms into a beautifully appointed kitchen, with five well-proportioned bedrooms and luxurious bath and shower rooms completing the principal accommodation. A self-contained one-bedroom annexe adds further flexibility, whether for multi-generational living or visiting guests. Outside, the grounds provide a wonderful complement to the house, combining formal gardens and a landscaped courtyard with stables, workshops and extensive grassland paddocks. A superb, detached summer house enjoys stunning views across the surrounding countryside and provides an inviting space for entertaining, relaxing or simply taking in the views. Properties of this calibre seldom come to the open market. With the character and elegance of a Georgian country home, stylish interiors and extensive equestrian facilities, Bridge Farm offers an exceptional rural lifestyle while remaining within easy reach of Boston and excellent road and rail connections. Sellers' insights We've lived at Bridge Farm for 14 years and it's been a fantastic place to raise our family. The children have loved having so much space to enjoy, both in the house and outside, and they've grown up exploring the surrounding countryside. It's such a peaceful setting you're not overlooked, there's a real sense of privacy, and it's simply a lovely place to call home. The approach to the house always makes an impression. As you come up the driveway, the Georgian frontage and beautiful lawns gradually come into view, and it still gives us that same feeling every time we arrive home. Inside, we've invested a great deal in updating the interiors, but always taking care to respect its character. Outside, we've added the stables, summer house and decking with the hot tub. The topiary and seating areas have evolved over the years, creating somewhere we love to spend time with family and friends or simply sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet. The house has grown with our family over the years. The layout is incredibly versatile, with plenty of living spaces so everyone can spread out, while the one-bedroom annexe has been used for everything from multi-generational living to a home office. When the children were older, we added the detached summer house, giving them their own space with a pool table, television and games area. They absolutely loved it, but it's equally suited as an entertaining space, home office or studio. The house is wonderful for entertaining. Christmas celebrations have been particularly special, and it's a home that's equally suited to larger occasions as it is to quieter evenings with family. The paddocks and fields are perfect for equestrian pursuits. My daughter keeps her horses here, so everything has been set up with that in mind. The stables and outbuildings all have power and lighting, the paddocks are securely fenced, and there's still plenty of scope for a new owner to adapt the land further, whether by creating an arena or enhancing the existing facilities, subject to the necessary consents. You can ride straight out from the grounds into the surrounding countryside. There are some lovely hacking routes straight from our property, so you can enjoy hours of riding without needing to transport the horses anywhere. Swineshead has a good range of amenities, including local shops, a GP surgery and a rail station. It's also an excellent area for families, with a well-regarded primary school in the village, a choice of schools in neighbouring villages, and highly regarded grammar and non-selective secondary schools in both Boston and Sleaford. Although the house feels wonderfully rural, it's surprisingly well connected. The A17 is just moments away, providing easy access towards Sleaford, King's Lynn and beyond, while Swineshead station offers direct services to Nottingham and Grantham, where you can connect to London. Bridge Farm has been an incredible family home and we'll be very sad to leave. We hope the next owners will enjoy everything it has to offer just as much as we have.

Dukes Manor presents a rare opportunity to acquire an extraordinary piece of English architectural history. Set within approximately 3.5 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, paddocks and mature grounds, this remarkable historic manor combines centuries of character and craftsmanship with the space, amenities and comfort expected of a truly exceptional modern country home. With origins recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 and the principal fabric of the present house dating predominantly from the 16th century, Dukes Manor has evolved through almost a millennium of occupation. Its architectural story is written into every room: exposed oak framing and beams, handsome fireplaces, decorative panelling, hand-tooled cornicing, leaded-light windows, solid oak doors and a fine timber staircase are complemented by later additions that have been thoughtfully integrated into the historic fabric. Arranged over three floors, the principal residence provides in excess of 6,000 sq ft of accommodation, together with a substantial self-contained three-bedroom annex. The result is a home of impressive scale and versatility, equally suited to grand entertaining, family life or multi-generational living. At the heart of the Manor is an exceptional family kitchen, created through a sympathetic extension in 1998. Bespoke cabinetry, granite and solid timber work surfaces and an Aga with electric module provide a practical yet characterful setting, while the adjoining snug creates a relaxed space for everyday living. Throughout the house, bespoke cabinetry and carefully preserved period details demonstrate the care with which successive owners have maintained and enhanced this unique property. Beyond the house, the grounds provide an extraordinary private lifestyle environment. Formal gardens merge seamlessly with mature planting, paddocks and established trees, creating a sense of tranquillity and seclusion. A heated swimming pool is complemented by a beautifully appointed pool house incorporating a changing room, shower, WC, wash hand basin, summerhouse-style kitchen area, electric pool cover and dedicated plant room. A floodlit tennis court provides further leisure facilities, while the equestrian provision includes a stable block with three stables and tack room. The extensive collection of ancillary buildings includes a coach house, workshops, stores and games room, alongside an exceptional six-car garage complex. One of the property's most enchanting features is its Victorian glasshouse, complete with heating and established grapevines. Elsewhere within the gardens, a beautifully constructed timber summerhouse, with oak detailing, tiled roof and traditional pew-style seating, offers an idyllic retreat from which to enjoy the surrounding landscape. Dukes Manor also possesses a fascinating sense of mystery, including its own hidden priest's hole, adding another intriguing chapter to the property's long and distinguished history. The house's story is closely connected with the village of Roxwell and the wider heritage of Essex. A significant remodelling took place in 1666 under Thomas Arthur Crush, commemorated by a plaque within the reception hall. By the 19th century, the Manor formed part of the estates of Lord Petre. Today, successive layers of Tudor, later historic and Victorian craftsmanship remain remarkably evident, from its timber-framed origins and rendered infill panels to mellow red-brick additions, gabled cross-wings, leaded casement windows and steeply pitched tiled roofs. Modern infrastructure has been discreetly incorporated to support contemporary country-house living, including oil-fired central heating, three-phase electricity, a house generator, electric entrance gates and a Chubb-monitored alarm system. Set in the historic village of Roxwell, Dukes Manor enjoys the rare combination of rural character and exceptional connectivity. Chelmsford lies approximately four miles away, providing extensive shopping, leisure and educational facilities, together with a mainline railway station offering services to London Liverpool Street in around 35 minutes. The A12 is readily accessible, with onward connections to the M11 and M25. For those seeking further potential, ALSO AVAILABLE is a neighbouring plot with full planning consent for a separate four-bedroom residence. Chelmsford City Council Ref: 25/01524/FUL. Plans, price and further information available on request. Dukes Manor is far more than a historic country house. It is a remarkable private estate in which nearly a thousand years of history, architectural craftsmanship and contemporary family life coexist. With its exceptional grounds, extensive leisure and equestrian facilities, ancillary accommodation and extraordinary collection of period features, it represents a truly distinctive opportunity to own a substantial piece of England's living architectural heritage.

A substantial country residence of 7,748 sq ft, beautifully presented and extensively refurbished since 2022, with a swimming pool, billiard room, tennis court and separate coach house, set in 1.9 acres on the Leicestershire and Rutland border A substantial 7,748 sq ft in total across the main house, coach house and leisure complex 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in total across the main house and coach house Extensively refurbished since 2022, including a full rewire, smart heating, a refurbished pool and tennis court, EV charging and CCTV Separate two bedroom coach house with its own kitchen, sitting room and garaging Leisure complex with swimming pool, billiard room and mezzanine games room Fully refurbished multi surface tennis court with new floodlights Within easy reach of Rutland Water, Oakham, Uppingham and Market Harborough Walnut Farm is a substantial period country property, Grade II listed, extending to approximately 7,748 sq ft in total and set in grounds of approximately 1.9 acres. This is a genuinely joined up lifestyle property rather than a house with a separate collection of outbuildings: the coach house, leisure complex and garaging extend the living and entertaining space well beyond the main house itself, and are finished and maintained to the same high standard throughout. Since taking ownership in 2022, the current owners have invested significantly in the property, carrying out a full electrical rewire of the main house, annexe and poolhouse, insulating the main house loft, and fitting Nest smart heating throughout. The swimming pool and its heating system have been fully refurbished, the tennis court completely refurbished with new floodlights, and two EV charging points and full exterior CCTV installed. This is not a project requiring further investment. The significant structural and system upgrades have already been carried out, and the asking price reflects both the scale of the property and the scale of that investment. Decoratively, the house has been beautifully and sympathetically presented, with original stonework, exposed brick and reclaimed timber doors retained as genuine character features, set against a fresh, considered scheme of soft sage greens, crisp white painted beams and pale engineered timber flooring. Hallways, bedrooms, bathrooms and the family room have all been redecorated, with new carpet to the stairs and upper hallway. The kitchen benefits from a Quooker hot water and filtered cold water tap, with a further Quooker hot tap fitted in the annexe. The result is a home that feels bright, current and genuinely move in ready, while losing none of its period soul. GROUND FLOOR A central entrance hall, finished with reclaimed timber doors and a bright, contemporary palette, gives access to the principal rooms to either side. A comfortable snug offers a quieter space to relax, with exposed stonework and original beams overhead. The dining room, recently redecorated, includes a bespoke built in wall cabinet and a new electric wall radiator, alongside the family room, which benefits from two new column radiators. The kitchen and adjoining breakfast nook anchor the home, fitted to a high standard with space for family life and entertaining alike. A utility room and downstairs WC sit conveniently off the hallway, the WC recently fitted with a new suite and radiator. To the rear, a substantial living room, at over 30 feet long, offers a genuinely impressive entertaining space. FIRST FLOOR A wide, recently redecorated hallway leads to the principal bedroom, which benefits from its own en suite. Three further double bedrooms are well proportioned, two of real scale, and are served by two further bathrooms, both freshly redecorated and finished to a high, modern standard with a freestanding bath and separate walk in rainfall shower. SECOND FLOOR A further double bedroom sits alongside a versatile room, currently used as a sixth bedroom and ideal as a home office or additional snug, with exposed roof timbers adding genuine character to the space. THE COACH HOUSE Entirely independent from the main house, the coach house offers charming accommodation of its own, with two ground floor bedrooms, one currently used as a sitting room and recently fitted with new carpet, and a newly fitted bathroom suite. The first floor sitting room enjoys views over the gardens, alongside a well equipped kitchen. A garage sits alongside. LEISURE COMPLEX Adjacent to the coach house, a genuinely impressive leisure complex includes a substantial swimming pool, recently refurbished with a new counter-current swim jet, a regrouted pool surface and a refurbished Calorex heating system, together with a new pump, water tank and pipework. The poolhouse bathroom has been fully refurbished with a new suite, new shower and Herschel infrared radiators, with the fuseboard upgraded and two new electric radiators fitted upstairs. A first floor billiard room and mezzanine games room overlook the pool below, a wonderful space for entertaining in any season. A further large garage and outbuilding completes the outstanding provision of outbuildings, previously used to store a helicopter. OUTSIDE The property is approached through timber double gates over a gravelled driveway, leading to substantial parking to the front and side, now served by two Zappi EV charging points. A separate second driveway to the rear gives independent access to the coach house and garaging, with a third access point via the Hallaton Road. Exterior CCTV covers the grounds throughout. The gardens are mostly laid to lawn, with terraced seating areas, attractive flowering borders and a range of mature specimen trees. The principal lawns, to the east of the property, include a fully refurbished multi surface tennis court finished in a Savannah playing surface, complete with new floodlights for evening play. LOCATION AND LIFESTYLE Walnut Farm sits in the sought after and historically significant village of East Norton, just off the A47 on the border with Rutland, between Uppingham and Leicester, within the heart of the village close to the church. The nearby market towns of Market Harborough, Uppingham, Oakham and Melton Mowbray together offer a comprehensive range of shops, services, sports clubs, theatres and schools. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Rutland Water lies just to the east between Uppingham and Oakham, offering sailing, watersports, fishing, scenic walks and the Rutland Water Cycle Route. Golf is available at Luffenham Heath and Stapleford Park, the latter also home to a spa, with horse racing at Leicester and Huntingdon. Schools in the area are excellent, with preparatory and primary education at Tugby, Hallaton, Uppingham, Oakham, Stamford and Great Glen, and secondary schooling available at Market Harborough, Uppingham, Oakham, Stamford, Oundle and Leicester.

The position of this delightful, detached period home is quite superb and offers the best of both worlds in that it is tucked away and yet provides good access into the village and to the popular station to London with the additional benefit of backing onto open fields. A long driveway from the Tonbridge Road leads up hill to the large block paved parking and turning area and a detached double garage and your first glimpse of this delightful home surrounded by gardens that lend a feeling of calm that comes with being far from the madding crowded. A few steps up past a fabulous pond takes you to the terrace which makes the most of its elevated position and affords you far reaching views beyond the village to the distant horizon. In order to make use of this sunny aspect and delightful view a large conservatory has been added to the front elevation of the house to create a much used and much-loved space for sitting or entertaining whilst maximising the benefit of the view. From here a large reception hall makes a superb study area or reading nook with its pretty bay window, brick fireplace and parquet floor. A large single storey addition has created a very generous living room, maximising the natural light with its triple aspect and views out over the gardens. The charming kitchen is linked to the dining room via a conservatory that currently serves as a utility area and would make a fine breakfast room. A doorway leads past the wine store to a traditional dining room with a fireplace and pretty side bay window. This is another large room and is ideal for seating large gatherings and makes a superb entertaining space. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, two of which are en-suite to shower rooms, with a family bathroom and separate toilet. A formal garden fronts the property with a large terrace, a pond garden and lawn. A further large lawn wraps around the house and is ideal for garden sports or if you prefer to be left as a natural wildflower garden. To the rear of the house is a pretty little painted brick outbuilding under a pitched tiled roof that has plenty of scope to be your home office, children’s den summerhouse or potting shed. This has been an amazing house in a brilliant location. We always loved the fact that you come up a long driveway before you get to the house, so you feel like you are so tucked away and as the driveway is uphill you have a lovely, elevated position with superb far-reaching views. Having said that you are perfectly situated for easy access to Hildenborough village, the station with services into London, as well as to Tonbridge Town and Sevenoaks. The village has two state primary schools, Stocks Green School, and Hildenborough cep school as well as the independent Fosse Bank, and the independent Sackville school. Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks offer a brilliant choice of schooling in both the state sector including superb grammar schools like The Judd School and TOGGS, and the private sector including Tonbridge and Sevenoaks schools, Hilden Grange and the schools at Somerhill.
