SELLER INSIGHT We were first drawn to Manor Farm House by its wonderfully peaceful setting,` say the owners of this charming Grade II listed home. `Tucked away at the end of a quiet no-through lane within a small enclave of homes, it has a real sense of calm and privacy. The outlook across unspoilt farmland immediately captured us, and after living here for more than 20 years, it is still the thing we treasure most.` Dating back to around 1720, the house was originally part of a working farm, with neighbouring agricultural buildings later converted into individual homes. `There are just four houses in this part of the development, which gives it a very secluded feel while still being friendly and welcoming,` the owners explain. `It is an incredibly comfortable house to live in, full of character and individuality.` The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with additional attic and cellar spaces adding further flexibility and charm. Period features sit comfortably alongside practical family living, with a series of beautifully proportioned rooms. `The dining room has always been one of our favourite spaces for family celebrations and special occasions,` say the owners, `while the kitchen is the heart of the home. Watching the sunsets from there throughout the seasons is something we never tire of.` The kitchen is fitted with an Aga and connects to a useful utility room, while upstairs four bedrooms, one with a generous en-suite, await. Above this, an attic room provides additional occasional accommodation,` they say. Outside, the gardens extend to around 0.75 acres and are positioned entirely to the rear of the house, creating a wonderfully private setting. Expanses of lawn are bordered by established flower beds and feature an apple tree and a protected Yew tree while the vegetable garden has four raised beds. `We`ve loved growing beetroot, spinach, peas and artichokes there,` say the owners. `The garden has been such a special part of life here, particularly because of the sense of space and complete tranquillity.`Despite its rural atmosphere, Cublington enjoys a thriving village community and excellent connections to nearby towns and railway stations, giving plenty of options for commuters. `Manor Farm House is a peaceful yet highly practical country home.`* Notice Please note we have not tested any apparatus, fixtures, fittings, or services.

The Old Rectory is an impressive early 20th-century residence occupying approximately half an acre of beautifully established gardens beside the River Glen, with around 45 metres of private mooring. Built in 1912, the property retains a wealth of period character while having been thoughtfully adapted and improved to provide a substantial and versatile home for modern living. Approached through a traditional entrance porch, the principal house extends to approximately 5,470 sq ft overall, including the main residence, annexe, garage and workshop. Original features include a substantial oak entrance door, nine fireplaces, timber flooring, exposed beams and generous proportions throughout, complemented by a programme of improvements including a new roof, double-glazed windows, updated bathrooms and an extensively improved kitchen. The property was originally constructed as the vicarage for Reverend Henry Law James, who became Vicar of Surfleet in 1898. He was instrumental in establishing the Lincoln Diocesan Guild of Church Bellringers in 1899 and remained its first Master until his death in 1932. The house subsequently formed an important part of village life during its years as a vicarage. A Latin inscription above the original entrance door translates as ‘Home without God is just a house’, while the nine original fireplaces, substantial joinery and timber floors provide a tangible connection to the property's heritage. The Main House The ground floor is arranged around a broad central reception hall, from which the principal living spaces lead. The combination of exposed timber, stripped floors, substantial windows and period detailing creates a distinctive sense of character, while the generous proportions allow the accommodation to work equally well for family life and entertaining. A particularly impressive open-plan reception and dining room provides an exceptional central entertaining space. Generously proportioned yet naturally divided into distinct areas for relaxation and dining, the room retains a strong connection with the gardens and river through tall windows and glazed doors. An original fireplace, timber flooring and architectural detailing reinforce its period character. The kitchen provides a practical and sociable hub to the house, with classic cabinetry, broad work surfaces, a large range cooker and central island. Timber flooring and an exposed beam complement the traditional character, while a separate utility room provides additional practical space. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, alongside three further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Former servants' accommodation on the upper level has been thoughtfully brought back into use, providing additional bedroom and office space together with storage. Original floorboards, sloping ceilings and characterful tucked-away spaces give this level a distinct individuality. Self-Contained Annexe A substantial attached annexe provides genuinely independent accommodation and significantly enhances the versatility of the property. It incorporates its own kitchen, a particularly generous bedroom, en suite facilities and wardrobe space, making it suitable for relatives, guests or those requiring separate accommodation for working or other purposes. The former coach house has been incorporated into the annexe, while the old coal house has been converted to provide a gym with an electric sauna. Gardens and River The gardens are a defining feature of The Old Rectory, combining formal structure with mature trees, clipped topiary, Mediterranean-inspired planting and a series of terraces and seating areas. Palms and architectural planting create a distinctive character, while the established landscaping provides a high degree of privacy. The property's approximately 45 metres of River Glen frontage are complemented by a long timber jetty and private mooring. The river forms an integral part of the setting, with the waterfront providing an exceptional space for boating and enjoying the surrounding landscape. Beside the water, an octagonal timber summer house has been arranged as an outdoor kitchen and entertaining space, with cooking facilities and infrared heating. Further terraces and a hot tub provide additional opportunities to enjoy the gardens and riverside setting throughout the year. The river frontage also provides direct access to a range of leisure activities, including boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and swimming. Beyond the River Glen, open farmland creates an expansive outlook and contributes to the property's exceptional sense of peace and privacy. Location Surfleet provides a range of everyday amenities including a village shop and Post Office, traditional public houses and a fish and chip shop. The historic parish church provides an important part of the village's heritage and has a particular connection with the history of The Old Rectory. The 10-acre Glen Park offers a children's play area, outdoor gym, picnic spaces, sensory garden, forest school, sports pitches and a wheelchair-friendly woodland trail. Spalding Golf Club, with its 18-hole course, is approximately one mile away. The wider area provides a choice of schooling, including Spalding Grammar School, Spalding High School and Ayscoughfee Hall School. Spalding is only a few miles away and provides a broader selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with a railway station offering connections to Peterborough.

The Hawthorns is a masterpiece of Edwardian architecture, built in 1906 and standing as one of the finest and most characterful residences in one of Oadby's most coveted addresses. Set behind a long, sweeping driveway on a plot of approximately 0.56 of an acre, the moment you arrive you understand that this is something entirely different. This remarkable property extends to an impressive 5,455 square feet in total, encompassing the principal house, annexe, garage and outbuildings, offering a scale and versatility that is exceptionally rare in this area. From the moment you step into the entrance hall, the story of this house begins to unfold. Double height, grand in proportion and flooded with light, the original wooden flooring underfoot and the staircase that rises above are genuinely among the finest you will find in a private home. The detail along the banisters, the sweep of the landing above, the chandelier overhead. It stops you in your tracks, as it should. That same original wooden flooring continues through the first floor hallway, a thread of authenticity that runs through the very heart of the home. The reception rooms are in a league of their own. Original fireplaces, intricate cornicing and coving, soaring ceilings, rich wall panelling and original bay windows combine to create spaces that feel both historic and utterly alive. Whether you are entertaining on a grand scale or simply living well, these rooms deliver something that no new build can replicate and no amount of money can manufacture. This home drips in character. And thanks to the modern heating system installed throughout, it is a home that keeps you wonderfully cool through the summer months and beautifully warm and cosy as the seasons turn, without ever losing a single note of its period charm. The kitchen and dining space is a genuine heart-of-the-home room and one that surprises at every turn. Exceptionally generous in proportion, it features a superb range of solid timber cabinetry with rich warm tones, dark granite worktops and a range cooker with extractor above. The original terrazzo flooring runs throughout and adds enormous character underfoot. Original leaded and stained glass windows bathe the room in coloured light, while French doors open directly out to the garden, making this a space that flows beautifully between inside and out. There is ample room for a large dining table and informal seating, making this as much a family room as it is a kitchen. A substantial utility room leads directly off, originally the servant quarters, complete with its own secondary staircase still intact, offering genuine flexibility for multi-generational living or simply a nod to the history beneath your feet. The first floor houses five bedrooms, all of generous proportion. Two benefit from their own en suite bathrooms, both fitted with underfloor heating, one featuring a sleek walk-in shower enclosure. The family bathroom perfectly complements the period character of the home. The principal bedroom enjoys its own bay window above the reception room below, flooding the space with light, and is served by a very large en suite. On the second floor, the possibilities open up further. A versatile room currently suited to use as a study or additional bedroom leads through to an extensive loft space that is ready and waiting to be converted. In the hands of a buyer with vision, the entire upper floor could become a private principal suite of genuine hotel quality, a games room or a creative studio. The ceiling height, the bones of the space and the existing access make this one of the most exciting opportunities the house presents. Outside, the plot is extraordinary for this location. Mature trees, established planting and lawned gardens wrap around the property, offering complete privacy and a sense of seclusion that belies the fact you are moments from everything this exceptional address has to offer. A dedicated garden outbuilding currently serves as a private gym. The gardens also benefit from an external WC and a separate outdoor utility room used for garden maintenance and storage. The annexe above the garage is a genuinely independent living space with its own gas meter, electricity meter and boiler system. Comprising a bedroom area, lounge, kitchen and bathroom, it is ideal for extended family, a live-in carer, visiting guests or as an income-generating opportunity. A garage with remote controlled electric doors and an adjacent carport complete the outstanding provision of outbuildings. The home is further protected by a silent panic alarm connected directly to the Police, providing an exceptional level of security and peace of mind for the whole household. Directly opposite the property sits one of the area's most treasured assets. The University of Leicester Botanic Garden is a destination in its own right, drawing visitors from across the county and beyond to experience 16 acres of breathtaking grounds that change with every season.

Victoria Park is equally close, offering open green space, weekend recreation and a wonderful sense of room to breathe.

This is a neighbourhood defined by sweeping tree-lined avenues, handsome period architecture and a strong, established community that has long attracted professionals, academics and families who value both quality of life and convenience. For families with children, the educational offering in this area is outstanding.

INTRODUCTION After years of detailed planning and complete renovation, this wonderful Victorian property, which was built c.1880, is now a beautiful family home once again. The original and skilled craftsmen who painstakingly created the detail of the property in circa 1880 would, we imagine, have been delighted to see it restored to what they knew it to be. The current owners committed to significant investment in this project and the result seems to have been worth it.. The list of improvements is lengthy and detailed, and briefly includes a complete new roof, new upgraded plumbing and central heating, total rewiring, all new windows, replacement bathrooms and kitchen and a complete cosmetic décor programme throughout. It seems nothing has been missed! They have very cleverly restored a beautiful period home to its former glory whilst incorporating modernity in exactly the right places with both blending together well. In 2020 a new detached annexe was built to the same excellent standard as the main house, and offers further family accommodation to suit your needs. This grand old house oozes traditional features such as; original fireplaces and panelled doors, high-level skirting boards, picture rails, moulded ceilings and architraves to mention just a few. Whilst all this character forms the overall charm of the house, the modernity previously mentioned allows for family day-to day lives to be somewhat more pleasant than it would have been for the Victorian family who lived here all those years ago. With just under 4,000 square feet of accommodation (including the annexe), there is room for a growing family, with the layout and design offering everyone adequate space to enjoy their own time away from the normal buzz of family life! This fantastic family home sits in one of the largest plots in the area and is within a short stroll of the water's edge and local beach, offering an abundance of leisure pursuits such as walking, sailing, surfing and kayaking to name a few. For racquet sport enthusiasts the Warblington Tennis Club is a few streets away. A couple of miles down the road is the charming harbourside village of Emsworth with independent boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops and two sailing clubs. Being situated on the Havant/Emsworth border, travel communications are excellent with access to the M27 south-coast road and the A3 to London within a few minutes of the property. If commuting to the capital is required, there are a choice of train stations, within walking distance, with regular services to London in 1hour 20 minutes.   STEP INSIDE Stepping through the new front porch into the bright Entrance Hall, with its intricately tiled floor and stained-glass windows, immediately imparts a feeling of space and elegance which is delightfully replicated throughout the house. The accommodation comprises a large sitting room leading through to a delightful garden room where one can enjoy views over the mature and well stocked garden. Double doors lead into the kitchen which was created by combining the original kitchen, scullery and walk-in pantry into one. It is well-designed and fitted with a good range of modern appliances. The utility room lies at the end of the kitchen and is spacious enough to accommodate some home-gym equipment. The dining room and family room are located to the front of the house and are generous in proportions. The main reception rooms have modern and highly-efficient wood-burning stoves each set within a beautiful period fireplace. On the first floor the layout is split-level which adds a degree of individuality and character. The new master bedroom layout incorporates a dressing area and a spacious ensuite bathroom. There are four further good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room, plus and additional and very useful WC at the end of the hall, between bedrooms three and four.   STEP OUTSIDE The house is accessed via twin wrought-iron gates to a gravel driveway, with ample parking for several vehicles. There is space for caravan or trailer parking if desired. The large garden is mature and well-tended and offers plenty of interest for the keen gardener with shrub and flower borders offering pleasant seasonal displays, a number of fruit trees and a fruit cage . At the end of the garden and tucked away out of sight are two large storage sheds. The newly-built Annexe, offers independent quality accommodation, and has been designed throughout for wheelchair access if required. Whether used for generational family accommodation, occasional visitors, au-pair or carer rooms or for working from home, the options of use are many. The space is more than adequate for all of the above. The sitting room and kitchen are open-plan with the sitting room being double-aspect and having glazed double-doors directly onto its own terrace. The kitchen is spacious and has an excellent range of units, quality appliances and a breakfast bar. There are fitted wardrobes in the bedroom and a pleasant view over the garden of the main house. The good-sized shower room is completed with a walk-in shower. There is a second room which could be used as a further bedroom, dining room, or resident carer accommodation. The annexe has the benefit of underfloor gas central- heating throughout.   ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Havant Borough Council: Tax Band 'G' Tenure: Freehold Gas-fired heating Services: Mains water, drainage, electricity EPC Rating: House 'D' Annexe 'C' Broadband – ADSL/FTTC/FTTP  Fibre Checker (openreach.com) Flood Risk – Refer to - (GOV.UK (check-long-term-flood-risk.service.gov.uk) AML Checks: By Law and in compliance with HMRC regulations, all agents are required to carry out Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on any buyer(s) who submit a successful offer.  A non-refundable administration fee of £60 inc.

Step inside Angelton Hall’s classical grandeur, elegant proportions and beautiful, elevated setting ensure it’s one of the most spectacular and desirable properties in Bridgend. Pass through the pillars of a classical portico and a pair of heavy wooden doors into a grand yet welcoming entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the house with its double-height ceiling, central staircase that splits into two and galleried landing. Light and airy, with touches of gold on its handrails and spindles, a chandelier hanging over the central space and tiled floor, this impressive space provides access to every area of the house. Directly beyond the entrance hall is a large light and airy open plan kitchen/breakfast room containing hand-crafted New England-style cabinets that make the most of the available space and a large, granite-topped central island with a sink and cupboards. The kitchen contains an abundance of appliances, while special touches such as plinth lights under the cabinets add to the contemporary ambience. The kitchen flows into an orangery that runs across more than two thirds of the house.  Sky lanterns, large windows and sliding glass doors allow light to flood in and make the most of breathtaking views of woodland, including a stately oak, and the countryside beyond. The orangery is the perfect place to sit and relax or entertain and opens out onto a south-facing terrace.  A feature woodburning stove creates a warm environment during cooler times of the year and this versatile space can easily accommodate a dining table. Lying off the orangery is a cosy, more intimate sitting room with bespoke bookshelves and its own view. It’s a great space for watching television. Two rooms sit either side of the entrance hall. One is currently used as a ground floor bedroom while the other has been fitted out as a home cinema. Completing the downstairs layout is a fitness wing that’s a sanctuary for relaxation, with a gym, sauna and steam room. There’s a large utility room with colourful fitted cupboards that provide plenty of storage space, and a WC too. Planning permission is in place to create a swimming pool extension with a plant room and changing facilities. The four upstairs bedrooms are large, luxurious and all have their own boutique hotel-style en suites and built-in storage space. Two open onto a private roof terrace with a wooden deck and glass balcony: the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or watch the sun go down. The master bedroom has a glorious view of the large oak in the garden through bi-fold doors. It also has a large dressing area with built-in wardrobes and a statement en suite with a free-standing bath and double sinks. Along with the bedrooms, the first floor has a large lounge area that looks out over the garden and woodland. Angelton Hall has been remodelled, refurbished and extended in recent years and is immaculately decorated throughout. It benefits from fast-speed broadband.   Step outside Angelton Hall’s gardens and woodlands are private, beautiful, tranquil and home to a wealth of wildlife. They contain several mature shrubs and trees, including a spreading oak that’s among the jewels of the property. Beyond the house there are vast lawned areas on which a children’s treehouse, climbing frame, swing, slide and 25m zip wire can be found, along with a large, heated summerhouse that’s reached by a long, meandering path. Closer to the house is an extensive, south-facing terrace that ends with a rill-like water feature. Both the house and gardens are perfect spaces for entertaining friends and family, while the woodland and lawns provide all the ingredients for enchanting childhoods. Outdoor lighting makes this space even more magical during the evenings. Access to Angelton House is through a pair of impressive brick pillars fitted with electric gates, which lead into a sweeping driveway. There is extensive parking and a double garage. Sellers Insight “Angelton Hall has been our home for the last two years, and from the moment we drove through the gates, we knew it was somewhere special.” “What first drew us to the property was the location. It's incredibly convenient, just minutes from the M4 and around twenty minutes from Cardiff, making trips to London easy, but when you arrive home, you feel like you're a million miles away from everything. The first time we visited, it honestly felt more like arriving at a luxury boutique hotel or private country estate than a family home.” “Since moving here, we've poured so much love into the house. We have completely modernised it throughout and added lots of personal touches along the way. One of my favourite projects was recreating the beautiful lighting style of my favourite Raffles Hotel in the hallway. We've wanted the house to feel elegant, dramatic and luxurious, whilst still being somewhere family and friends instantly feel comfortable. Every improvement has been done with care and to a high standard because this house deserved nothing less.” “There are so many rooms I love, but the orangery and gym are probably my favourites. The orangery is one of those spaces that can be anything you need it to be. We've held business meetings there, hosted huge parties and celebrations, and spent many quiet evenings with family. In the winter, with the fire lit and a glass of wine, it feels incredibly cosy and peaceful.” “The gardens have brought us just as much joy as the house itself. We have a zipline, a children's play park built around the trees, a summer house, swim spa, gym, sauna and steam room, along with a beautiful infinity water feature. The wildlife here is amazing also and we often see deer roaming.  The landscaping and lighting have transformed the garden and driveway into something really special, and the views are incredible. On a clear day, you can even see the sea in the distance. Despite all of this, the privacy is what we've probably appreciated most.” “Angelton Hall has been the perfect house for entertaining. With space for more than fifty cars on the driveway and no close neighbours, we've hosted some wonderful parties and celebrations over the years. It has become the house that family and friends naturally gravitate towards. We've hosted everything from family occasions to formal dinners with private chefs and work events. The summer house has been brilliant too, especially for giving the children their own space while the adults enjoy the main house.” “What will I miss most? Honestly, everything.  This isn't just a house, it's a lifestyle. We have loved every second of living here and it has been a truly wonderful family home.”

INTRODUCTION After years of detailed planning and complete renovation, this wonderful Victorian property, which was built c.1880, is now a beautiful family home once again. The original and skilled craftsmen who painstakingly created the detail of the property in circa 1880 would, we imagine, have been delighted to see it restored to what they knew it to be. The current owners committed to significant investment in this project and the result seems to have been worth it.. The list of improvements is lengthy and detailed, and briefly includes a complete new roof, new upgraded plumbing and central heating, total rewiring, all new windows, replacement bathrooms and kitchen and a complete cosmetic décor programme throughout. It seems nothing has been missed! They have very cleverly restored a beautiful period home to its former glory whilst incorporating modernity in exactly the right places with both blending together well. In 2020 a new detached annexe was built to the same excellent standard as the main house, and offers further family accommodation to suit your needs. This grand old house oozes traditional features such as; original fireplaces and panelled doors, high-level skirting boards, picture rails, moulded ceilings and architraves to mention just a few. Whilst all this character forms the overall charm of the house, the modernity previously mentioned allows for family day-to day lives to be somewhat more pleasant than it would have been for the Victorian family who lived here all those years ago. With just under 4,000 square feet of accommodation (including the annexe), there is room for a growing family, with the layout and design offering everyone adequate space to enjoy their own time away from the normal buzz of family life! This fantastic family home sits in one of the largest plots in the area and is within a short stroll of the water's edge and local beach, offering an abundance of leisure pursuits such as walking, sailing, surfing and kayaking to name a few. For racquet sport enthusiasts the Warblington Tennis Club is a few streets away. A couple of miles down the road is the charming harbourside village of Emsworth with independent boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops and two sailing clubs. Being situated on the Havant/Emsworth border, travel communications are excellent with access to the M27 south-coast road and the A3 to London within a few minutes of the property. If commuting to the capital is required, there are a choice of train stations, within walking distance, with regular services to London in 1hour 20 minutes.   STEP INSIDE Stepping through the new front porch into the bright Entrance Hall, with its intricately tiled floor and stained-glass windows, immediately imparts a feeling of space and elegance which is delightfully replicated throughout the house. The accommodation comprises a large sitting room leading through to a delightful garden room where one can enjoy views over the mature and well stocked garden. Double doors lead into the kitchen which was created by combining the original kitchen, scullery and walk-in pantry into one. It is well-designed and fitted with a good range of modern appliances. The utility room lies at the end of the kitchen and is spacious enough to accommodate some home-gym equipment. The dining room and family room are located to the front of the house and are generous in proportions. The main reception rooms have modern and highly-efficient wood-burning stoves each set within a beautiful period fireplace. On the first floor the layout is split-level which adds a degree of individuality and character. The new master bedroom layout incorporates a dressing area and a spacious ensuite bathroom. There are four further good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room, plus and additional and very useful WC at the end of the hall, between bedrooms three and four.   STEP OUTSIDE The house is accessed via twin wrought-iron gates to a gravel driveway, with ample parking for several vehicles. There is space for caravan or trailer parking if desired. The large garden is mature and well-tended and offers plenty of interest for the keen gardener with shrub and flower borders offering pleasant seasonal displays, a number of fruit trees and a fruit cage . At the end of the garden and tucked away out of sight are two large storage sheds. The newly-built Annexe, offers independent quality accommodation, and has been designed throughout for wheelchair access if required. Whether used for generational family accommodation, occasional visitors, au-pair or carer rooms or for working from home, the options of use are many. The space is more than adequate for all of the above. The sitting room and kitchen are open-plan with the sitting room being double-aspect and having glazed double-doors directly onto its own terrace. The kitchen is spacious and has an excellent range of units, quality appliances and a breakfast bar. There are fitted wardrobes in the bedroom and a pleasant view over the garden of the main house. The good-sized shower room is completed with a walk-in shower. There is a second room which could be used as a further bedroom, dining room, or resident carer accommodation. The annexe has the benefit of underfloor gas central- heating throughout.   ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Havant Borough Council: Tax Band 'G' Tenure: Freehold Gas-fired heating Services: Mains water, drainage, electricity EPC Rating: House 'D' Annexe 'C' Broadband – ADSL/FTTC/FTTP Fibre Checker (openreach.com) Flood Risk – Refer to - (GOV.UK (check-long-term-flood-risk.service.gov.uk) AML Checks: By Law and in compliance with HMRC regulations, all agents are required to carry out Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on any buyer(s) who submit a successful offer.
