The Manor House

Description

This beautiful 17th century Grade II listed manor house stands in grounds of around 1 acre, on the banks of the River Arrow. It is on the Black and White Trail, and in one of Herefordshire's loveliest villages. This warm and welcoming home offers a blend of traditional English country house style with the best of 21st century luxury and technology. Recently renovated, works have included refurbishment of the 7 bath/shower rooms, and installation of a fabulous new kitchen. The entire house has also been redecorated and furnished using relaxing shades of brown and cream, and contemporary and elegant light oak furniture. The large, well-equipped kitchen with cream units, granite worktops and travertine marble flooring contains an Aga, dining table and 6 chairs, seating area, top-of-the-range Gaggia espresso/capuccino machine, American-style side-by-side fridge/freezer with ice and chilled water dispenser, dishwasher, range cooker, microwave and large toaster. The cupboards are well stocked with plates, glasses, cutlery, pots, pans, serving dishes, and a good selection of cookery books for inspiration! There are 3 reception rooms - a cosy snug/study with TV and PS2 console; sunny morning room with TV, open fire and CD music system and a large living room with inglenook fireplace, baby grand piano and 42inch flat-screen TV with cinema surround-sound and Sky Plus. These 3 rooms combine to offer seating for around 20-28 guests, so there is plenty of choice for those who want to have a quiet corner to themselves. The dining room is accessed from the kitchen and has a light oak dining table and 20 comfortable brown leather dining chairs. There is a white bone china dinner service and stainless steel cutlery set, plenty of wine and champagne glasses, an electric 'wood burning stove' and a CD player. The 11 bedrooms are elegantly furnished with quality bedlinens, luxury thick towels and a selection of Damana toiletries. There is 1 twin rooms, 1 double, 7 kings, 1 family room King and 2 singles and 1 super-king. Four of the bedrooms have an en-suite bath/shower room and there are 2 4-poster beds. We have 6 extra beds which are suitable for use by children, in parents' rooms, plus 2 cots for very young children, meaning that maximum occupancy for mixed age groups is 28 (maximum 22 adults).
