The Property

Cufaude Manor is Grade II Listed and thought to date from the 18th Century and has been recently refurbished and extended by the current owners. There are many period features throughout the house including exposed oak timbers and open fireplaces. The house offers excellent accommodation with well-proportioned reception rooms and a family kitchen that opens to a snug that overlooks the garden. There are five bedrooms, three served by ensuite bathrooms and the other two by the family bathroom.

Within the property is an integral one bedroom cottage with sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. There is a former entrance back into the main house (not currently in use) that could be reopened for everyday use.

Gardens and grounds

The property is approached though electric wooden gates along a tree-lined drive to a large turning circle and parking area with open-bay double garage, further garage and workshop/machinery store.

Within the garden is a fantastic party barn/pool house with bi-fold doors to the garden, kitchenette and changing area for the swimming pool. The gardens provide a lovely setting for the property with mature hedging, extensive lawns and a well-stocked kitchen garden and orchard. There is a terrace adjacent to the family room as well as an area of decking borderning the pond. The formal gardens are surrounded by areas of grassland, and to the west, a rectangular raised moated area, which is a protected historic monument believed to be the site of the original Cufaude Manor which was destroyed during the Civil War.
