Stock Lane, Landford, SP5

Landford Manor forms the principal part of a historic manor house within a nine-property hamlet, ensuring maximum privacy from neighbours. The current owners have created a comfortable and immaculate family home that has extended to installing state of the art technology/security, landscaping the gardens, creating a new drive, renovating the cellar, installing outbuildings and creating family-oriented outdoor living areas while fully modernising this beautiful and luxurious home.

The property retains magnificent period features throughout, including panelling, ornamental plasterwork and stone mullion windows. A welcoming reception hall leads to an impressive panelled drawing room with dining and study areas, featuring a stone fireplace with carved mantelpiece. The kitchen/breakfast room, originally the library, boasts hand-crafted units with granite surfaces and premium appliances including a four-oven Aga. Additional ground floor spaces include a superb boot/rod room and panelled sitting room with wood-burning stove.

The 2020 cellar refurbishment created exceptional entertaining spaces with an automatic glass floor entrance, open bar with vodka chiller, restored barrel-vaulted wine cellar, and media area with mood lighting and discreet house infrastructure.

A magnificent staircase leads to the long panelled landing. The principal bedroom suite features marble fireplace, built-in wardrobes, and garden views, plus an adjoining bathroom with free-standing bath, dual sinks, and walk-in shower. Two additional en suite bedrooms and utility facilities complete this level. The second floor, fitted with underfloor heating, has a superb vaulted bedroom suite with sitting room and en suite, plus another bedroom with family bathroom offering laundry facilities. A small roof terrace provides outdoor access.

On the top floor is a seamlessly integrated (into the main house) kitchen currently used as a gym and /living area used as a large storage room with a further bedroom and shower room, offering flexible accommodation options for guests or staff.

The Landford Manor estate is accessed through Grade II listed brick pillars leading to a shared driveway. Landford Manor, the first property on the right, features automated gates opening onto a private drive with ample gravelled parking, encompassed by lawn and a circular flowerbed. The magnificent south-facing principal garden comprises three terraces (with power supply). The centre terrace retains original formal garden elements with a central ornamental pond enclosed by hedging and brick walls. The western lawn has superb broadleaf trees including Copper Beech. A large timber-framed outbuilding (2017) provides storage and machinery space. The lower terrace features a walkway tunnel through rhododendrons. Private gardens extend to approximately 1.4 acres.
Below lie communal grounds and meadows studded with a variety of trees, leading to the River Blackwater. A hard-surfaced communal tennis court serves residents. The communal grounds add a further 3.5 acres, creating a total estate of nearly 5 acres of beautiful landscaped grounds.

Each property within the wider Landford Manor estate contributes £360pa towards the maintenance of the shared driveway and communal grounds.
