The combination of location and aspect is truly outstanding.<br/><br/>Constructed in red brick, the house is a highly characterful Georgian residence, rich in period charm.

With minimal adaptation, this could be converted into a self-contained annexe or used as a home office, studio or entertaining space. A double garage adjoins the shoot room, offering excellent storage and parking.<br/><br/>Fyfield Manor presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished village house of great character, with exceptional potential in a superb setting.<br/><br/>OUTSIDE<br/><br/>The gardens and grounds are beautifully maintained and predominantly laid to lawn, offering a sense of space and tranquillity.
