A stunning Northamptonshire manor house believed to date back around 500 years has gone on the market for £1.3million – complete with five bedrooms, extensive gardens and a heated outdoor swimming pool.
The Manor House, in Showsley Road, Shutlanger, near Towcester, is being marketed by estate agents Michael Graham and Rightmove with a guide price of £1,300,000 and no upper chain.
The detached stone property, which reportedly dates back to the early 16th century, stands in grounds extending to 0.88 acres and offers almost 3,800 sq ft of accommodation.
It has been extended and altered over the centuries, including the addition of two south-facing bays during the Victorian era, while retaining many of its original features.
These include exposed wooden beams, stonework, flagstone flooring, wooden panelling and original fireplaces – one of which features a beam bearing the inscription '1631'.
The house has five separate reception rooms, including a drawing room, dining room, sitting room, games room and first-floor study.
Its two principal reception rooms feature bay windows overlooking the front garden, exposed wooden floors and original fireplaces.
The central reception hall has a flagstone floor, exposed stonework and ceiling beams, while the sitting room features a wood-burning stove.
There is also a fitted kitchen and breakfast room with an electric Aga and space for a six-seater breakfast table.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom has a bay window, open fireplace, dressing room with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding cast-iron bath.
The accommodation includes four further bedrooms, with one potentially suitable for use as a self-contained suite.
Outside, the property boasts mature landscaped gardens, formal lawns, a walled courtyard, vine-covered pergola and a fenced paddock.
A particular highlight is the heated outdoor swimming pool, which comes with an electric retractable cover and paved surround.
The property also benefits from a gated gravel driveway providing parking for six vehicles, in addition to garaging.
The freehold property is in council tax band H and is being sold through Michael Graham's Towcester office.
