Manor Farm, Duck Lane, Stratford-Upon-Avon CV37

Dating from the early 18th century, with later 19th-century additions, Manor Farm offers a rare blend of heritage, warmth and understated rural elegance with exciting potential for further enhancement.

Ground Floor

A home of notable depth and character, Manor Farm unfolds through a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, each with its own distinct atmosphere. Period features are evident throughout, including exposed timbers, original flagstones, timber floorboards, wooden panelling and several fireplaces, most notably a striking inglenook with wood-burning stove forming a natural focal point. The layout is both generous and versatile, offering multiple reception spaces suited to everyday family living as well as more formal entertaining. The dining room is particularly elegant, featuring a bay window, full ceiling beams, a working fireplace and a traditional serving hatch. At the heart of the home lies a welcoming kitchen and breakfast room, designed as a sociable and practical space. This is complemented by a scullery room, boot room, cloakroom, toilet and additional stores and a substantial cellar. The games room and study enjoy excellent natural light and views across the garden, creating a strong connection between the house and the garden.

First Floor

Upstairs, a landing leads to three bedrooms, a dressing room or study, a principal bathroom and an en suite. Two staircases connect the ground and first floors, improving flow and flexibility. The cottage includes a forth bedroom. A further staircase leads to two attic rooms, providing useful additional space. There is potential to enhance or reconfigure the property, subject to the necessary consents.

The property is approached via gated side access leading to a parking area and a separate paddock, offering excellent scope for recreational or lifestyle use.
