Description

Manor House is a stunning stone built country home standing in approximately 1.73 acres of gardens and grounds dating back to 1818, having formerly been 'Manor Farm' situated within the pretty Hamlet of Wycomb, located just to the North of the Market Town of Melton Mowbray on the edge of the Vale of Belvoir. The property offers substantial living space over 3 floors including 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 6 reception rooms, as well as a 'Farm House' kitchen with 4 oven Aga and breakfast room, the property also boasts a wine cellar. The current owner has made alterations, improvements and ongoing maintenance, including an indoor heated swimming pool.

The accommodation has oil fired central heating and the swimming pool has a separate oil heating system, the house has predominantly replacement double glazed windows and doors and offers many character and period features throughout.

There is an extensive 2 storey stone barn which incorporates a large garage and workshop, staff accommodation and first floor offices/games rooms. The barn offers great opportunity to convert into a separate dwelling, subject to suitable planning consent.

A 5 bar gate gives access to a long driveway flanked by trees and grass paddock areas and on into the walled garden and driveway area, giving parking and hard standing for many vehicles and further double garage with 'Orangery' to the rear. There are delightful well tended gardens, further gated access driveway and yard leading to a stone stable block of 3 loose boxes and tack room. Ideally located for Belvoir Hunt Country, as well as the nearby Quorn and Cottesmore Hunts. To the southern corner of the grounds is a tennis court (now slightly overgrown).

Wycomb is well placed for access to Nottingham, Leicester, Melton Mowbray and Grantham, London is easily accessible from Grantham Station to Kings Cross via the East Coast line within approx. 1 hour.
