Main Street, Woodnewton, Peterborough, PE8

A beautifully constructed, classically-styled Northamptonshire
house, with garaging, traditional barn and gardens, in all about 2
acres, with outstanding southerly views.


Manor Farm is an exceptional,
individual modern house built 10 years
ago of Churchfield stone with ashlar
banding, quoins and chimneys. The
property has high quality hardwood
joinery and windows, block and beam
floors, as well as superior or bespoke
fixtures and fittings. Environmental
and energy efficiency was at the
forefront of the owner’s mind, and
therefore a ground source heat pump
to an underfloor heating system was
installed, along with a solar array of
PV panels. A hi-tech, Control 4 system,
along with CAT 6 cabling is wired
throughout the house, controlling TV
and audio equipment to almost every
room.

The house is orientated to enjoy the
southerly aspect with the principal
rooms enjoying plenty of light and
far-reaching views over the garden
and countryside beyond. The wide,
oak front door opens to the limestone
floored dining hall. This is a hub, with
each of the reception rooms and the
kitchen, reached from here.
The kitchen is sizeable and
beautifully fitted with a bespoke,
hand-built range of oak and walnut
furniture by Alexander Lewis of
Market Harborough. The base units
are topped with Corian surfaces with
inset sink and Quooker boiling water
tap. The granite topped island has
a walnut breakfast bar set to one
end. The majority of the integrated
appliances are Miele and include a
dishwasher, hob with rising extractor,
two fan ovens, a steam oven, a combi
/ microwave and a warming drawer.
There is also a wine fridge and bottle
chiller. There is ample space for
family mealtimes or formal dining,
beside the bi-fold doors that open to
the terrace. The utility is adjacent and
fitted to the same standard as the
kitchen.

The family room enjoys the
spectacular view from the box bay,
with bi-fold doors opening to the
terrace. The limestone fireplace,
carved by Churchfield Stone, makes
an attractive focal point. A 5 amp lighting circuit, the surround sound
system and the electric blinds,
give the ability to create a range of
atmospheres. The drawing room
is similarly specified and shares
the same access and view over the
garden.

The study, with oak flooring and
French doors to the terrace, completes
the ground floor accommodation.
The galleried landing is reached via
an oak staircase with tread lighting,
and provides access to each of the
five, double bedrooms, all with
integrated sound / TV systems, which
extend to the ensuites and the family
bathroom. The principal bedroom
is fitted with bespoke furniture by
Alexander Lewis. The ensuite has a
large, walk-in shower with rain head
and wand, along with twin wash
basins & WC. Fittings are by Grohe
and Robert Welch. The second, third
and fourth bedrooms, each have
built-in Alexander Lewis clothes
storage and high quality ensuite
shower rooms. The fifth bedroom has
use of the family bathroom which is
set across the landing and fitted with
twin wash basins, shower, large bath
and WC.

Double, electric gates open from the
roadside to the drive, which runs down
to the parking area beside and in
front of the house. To the left, a stone
barn has been converted to provide
quality, triple garaging, with power
and light within. A door opens to the
workshop / plant room, which houses
the heating and hot water systems.
Adjacent to this is the granary barn,
which has been re-roofed and is a great store or party building and has
potential for conversion to further
accommodation.

Spanning the back of the house is
a large, paved terrace, with circular
seating areas. Steps lead down to the
lawn, which runs away to the south
and meets with the Willowbrook at
the bottom. The grounds extend to
about 2 acres.
