Description
This elegant two - bedroom apartment occupies a ground floor position within the
handsome Stocken Hall mansion house. With 17th century origins, the property
retains an abundance of character including high ceilings typical of the era,
tall sash windows and decorative coving. These features are beautifully
complemented by modern additions such as a tasteful contemporary décor scheme,
a handsome kitchen and sleek bath and shower rooms.
The grade II* listed Stocken Hall was renovated in 1999 into eleven separate
dwellings. Manor Gates is one of the ground floor apartments, centrally
positioned within the mansion house, from which there are fine south facing
views, and crucially with its own private entrance, in addition to the access
from the mansion’s central stairwell hall.
The accommodation is deceptively spacious affording over 1700 sq ft of space
with high ceilings and large windows further enhancing the feeling of light
and space. The accommodation is entered via a welcoming Minton tile floored
entrance hall, to a useful boot room, with floor to ceiling fitted cupboards
and a central dining hallway. The symmetry of the 23ft sitting room impresses
and serves as the heart of the home, with access to the Mansion central
communal entrance stairwell hall too.
From the dining hall, the fully fitted kitchen has appealing solid wood
cabinetry and doors, beneath quartz worksurfaces, with a gas range cooker and
space for a dishwasher and washer/dryer.
The spacious principal double bedroom has an almost full - height south facing
bay window and built - in wardrobes, and a well - appointed en - suite shower room.
Double bedroom two, with elegant window seats beneath its large windows
adjoins the property’s principal bathroom.
Outside
Manor Gates is set within mature grounds of about four acres comprising
beautifully landscaped gardens with rolling lawns, box hedging and gravel
pathways with far - reaching views across the surrounding fields and open
countryside. This property’s private entrance is found to the rear of the
mansion house, with gravelled parking to the front of the oak front entrance
door.
