Description

This stunning Grade II listed property, located in the Old Coach House on the Shortgrove Estate, boasts a rich history dating back to 1684. The manor house was once burnt down by the Kray brothers in 1966 and is also rumored to have Britain's oldest swimming bath. Despite its history, the property has been modernized while maintaining its character and charm. The interior features a grand entrance hall, a spacious drawing room with high ceilings and large windows, a modern kitchen with high-end appliances, and a dining room with a utility room and W/C. The first floor includes a principle suite with a three-piece en-suite, walk-in wardrobe, and bedroom, while the second floor offers four additional bedrooms and two bathrooms. The property sits on five acres of private gardens, including three walled gardens with formal borders, a fountain, and mature trees, making it perfect for entertaining and relaxation.
