Stocklinch Manor, constructed in the late 19th Century, epitomizes a classic country house situated in a private setting on approximately 5.74 acres of meticulously maintained gardens and grounds, sheltered by mature hedging and trees.
This residence showcases Victorian elegance and grace, characterized by high ceilings and expansive windows that flood the interiors with natural light, creating an airy, open atmosphere. The house preserves its original architectural charm with features such as fireplaces, ornate cornicing, working shutters, and a grand staircase leading from the reception hall.
The home skilfully combines these historical elements with modern conveniences, including a spacious kitchen and family room equipped with a custom-designed timber kitchen, featuring a 4-oven electric AGA and separate dining and seating areas. Five additional reception rooms on the ground floor provide ample space for entertaining. A first-floor room has been transformed into a cinema room, while a collection of practical service rooms and cellars with flagstone floors and original wine bins enhance the home's functionality.
The elegant proportions continue to the first floor, where six bedrooms each offer access to en-suite bathrooms or shower rooms, with exceptional views from the principal bedroom. A self-contained flat with its own entrance provides additional accommodation with a double bedroom, shower room, and kitchen.
The property is approached via a gravel drive leading to a spacious parking area in front of the house. The drive continues behind the house to the former stable yard, now transformed into a triple garage. Adjacent to this is the former stable block, converted into a delightful guest cottage.
Behind the coach house lies a heated swimming pool, complete with a charming loggia featuring a covered seating area and fireplace. Nearby is a changing room with shower and separate WC, and two useful stone outbuildings. Beyond the pool, a hard tennis court awaits.
The gardens encircle the house on three sides, with expansive lawns adorned with flowering shrubs, clipped hedging, and mature specimen trees. The garden is enclosed by mature hedging and trees, with an arboretum planted in recent years. Behind the pool and tennis court, a paddock with stock-proof fencing extends the property’s appeal.
The former stables have been thoughtfully converted into Neswick Cottage, which offers a comfortable sitting room, two spacious double bedrooms, a well-equipped bathroom, and its own secluded garden, ensuring privacy from the main house.
