Manor House, Little Stretton, SY6 6RE

THE MANOR HOUSE
A rare opportunity to own an exceptional 15th century former farmhouse, extended over the
centuries and now a superb example of a Manor House and located in this picturesque village in south Shropshire.

A farmhouse, later a private house, it was extended in the 17th century and heavily restored in the 20th century. The original part is timber framed with rendered infill on a stone plinth, the extensions are in brick, and the roof is tiled. There are two storeys, and the house has an E shaped plan, with a long main range and a gabled cross wing at each end.

The doorway has panelled pilasters, and a moulded pediment. The gables are jettied, and the windows are casements. Inside the house is a three bay cruck house.

There is an enclosed front garden area with mature front hedge and paved area. The large well established and landscaped rear garden is enclosed with a high brick wall and an abundance of flowering shrubs. There are two brick built gazebos, mature trees and small paddock area and further gardens to the rear with the shared vehicle access driveway leading to the three bay garage.

Little Stretton is the smaller of the 'three Strettons' and lies at the Southern end of the Stretton Valley.
It benefits from a church, village hall and two inns/restaurants.
The bus route passes through the village and the excellent amenities of Church Stretton lie just over one mile away. The Ashes Hollow leads up into the Long Mynd Hills providing endless walks.
