The welcoming reception hall has an open fireplace and a sweeping staircase that leads to the first-floor accommodation.

There is wonderful sitting room, which features a large arched picture window to the front, and a further reception room which is currently a bright family room but could be utilised as a dining room, if required. Set off the hallway is a comfortable study and the inner hallway leads you down to a fabulous kitchen and breakfast room. This lovely living space feels very much like the ‘hub’ of the house and features bi-fold doors that open to the garden. The kitchen area itself has a bespoke range of modern fitted units that incorporate a large fridge and an Everhot range. From the breakfast area, a door leads through to the rear passage where a large walk-in larder, utility room and boot/log store rooms can be found.

There are seven bedrooms on the first floor, including the stunning and rather generous principal bedroom with its en suite bathroom. Two family bathrooms are located on the first floor, as well as a useful walk-in laundry/ linen room. The second floor has a further two bedrooms and a shower room.

Snoddington Manor is approached through automated wrought iron gates and down a long tree-lined driveway that culminates at the front of the house where extensive parking can be found.

To the rear of the house stands the newly re-surfaced hard tennis court and beyond are 2 paddocks where a variety of livestock or horses can be kept.

Set to the side of the house is an impressive Victorian stable block, which features original Victorian stalls with iron supports and railings, whilst an external staircase leads up to a significant first floor area, which is currently used as a hobbies room, although has potential to convert into a gymnasium or other leisure facility.
