Description
An exceptionally upgraded and expanded Grade II listed five-bedroom detached family home. Formerly a farmhouse, Ilgars Manor is set within just over five acres of private grounds and approached via an imposing gated entrance & driveway. Arranged over three floors plus a cellar, with accommodation extending to over 3,800 sq ft, this versatile home combines contemporary design with period character, enhanced by exposed beams & brickwork and an abundance of natural light. The heart of the home is the outstanding garden and family room, boasting panoramic views across the expansive gardens and creating a seamless flow of indoor-outdoor living. Perfectly positioned off the garden room is the bespoke modern kitchen, designed with both family life and entertaining in mind. Venturing on, a cosy snug/cinema room offers the ideal retreat for relaxing evenings or family movie nights. The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. The substantial primary suite features a stylish en suite and a generous walk-in wardrobe. Two further spacious bedrooms also enjoy en suite facilities, while two additional double bedrooms are complemented by a beautifully appointed family bathroom. Beyond the main residence, a range of outbuildings can be found including workshops and a small barn. The former stables (7 horses) now provides office space but could easily be returned for equestrian use. The extensive grounds combine space for entertaining or could be partitioned into multiple paddocks.
