Cleabarrow Manor

Parts of Cleabarrow Manor originally date from the 1600s but major additions were added in Victorian times and so you find a wonderful blend of characterful period styles and original features throughout, retaining the styles of various eras, including some original bathroom and kitchen facilities. From stately grand bedrooms to cosy and contemporary rooms, there's something for all tastes including a state of the art wet room for that all important luxury shower after a hard day's walking.

The property layout can be seen on the floorplan shown in the property photographs and you will note some rooms are remote from the lounges / dining rooms which benefits those wanting a quieter position in the house. For your entertainment, you will find Wi-Fi (see 'nitty gritty') and large screen TVs. Two (conjoined) lounges with woodburner / open fire are supplemented with a separate dining room, with formal dining for 16. The country kitchen with traditional Aga and additional large electric range at the heart is supplemented by an adjacent traditional utility room and 'walker's' shower facility. Children (or big kids!) will be enchanted by the chance to play in the extensive lawned garden (access across the lane from the house).
