A classic Georgian country home

The Manor House in Sibsey is one of the area’s most beautiful 19th-century period properties, set in an idyllic rural location with gorgeous grounds.

Standing in approximately six acres of impeccably maintained grounds, The Manor House in Sibsey is a stunning Grade II-listed former farmstead dating back to the early 19th century.

This classic Georgian manor house, which has been home to the Gilbert family since they moved here in 1991, features four spacious reception rooms, plus four large bedrooms (two with en suite) in the main house, with three further bedrooms in the contemporary barn conversion.

The traditional farmhouse kitchen, which has sliding sash windows opening out onto an attractive courtyard area, features an exposed brick chimney breast housing an oil-fired AGA with a Victorian style pulley clothes airer above. There is also plumbing for an integrated dishwasher and an electric hob with extractor fan.

A door leads through to a Walk-In Pantry which has a window to the side aspect, quarry tiled floor, original marble cold shelf, an extensive range of shelving and a built-in electric fan oven useful for the summertime. There is also ample space in the pantry for a fridge-freezer.

While The Manor House is filled with charming Regency features, sympathetic renovations of a former coach house have transformed this into modern offices, while an adjacent farm building is now an impressive barn conversion breathing new life into traditional structures.

For buyers looking to work from home, a successful family business has been run from the property for several years.

The property enjoys a most idyllic position, set back behind a front paddock and surrounded by its own mature gardens, sweeping gravel driveway and a useful range of outbuildings.

Rest, relax and entertain
Sitting within approximately six acres, this wonderful family home offers plenty to keep you busy with a choice of areas for outdoor entertaining, as well as a tennis court and large kitchen garden.

Like the house itself, the gardens and courtyards are filled with a nostalgic charm and when it comes to leisure time you will never be short of a quiet corner to read, or somewhere to sit for a few minutes in the peace and quiet of this very special property.

The Manor House offers a wonderful feeling of space and privacy. Set back behind an extensive lawned garden with several mature trees and brick ha-ha, it’s easy to see how this beautiful property is well admired locally.

A moat-shaped lake at the bottom of the garden on Chapel Lane, known fondly by the family as “the duck pond” creates an attractive approach.

The main front gates open onto a large sweeping gravelled driveway which provides a generous amount of parking in front of the property, by the side courtyard entrance and on into the main yard to the rear of the house by the barn conversion.

The gardens feature beautifully maintained lawns, shaped hedges and established flower beds and borders, planted with a superb range of cottage-style plants and shrubs, including foxgloves, peonies and verbena.

There is also a woodland area providing a shady space to sit on a bench or take a leisurely walk filled with snowdrops and daffodils in the springtime.

A generous kitchen garden with raised beds and a polytunnel is also perfect for a buyer keen to grow their own fruit and vegetables, and the garden includes three apple trees and a range of soft fruit plants.

Two delightful courtyard areas trailing in old roses and wisteria link the main house to a superb range of well-maintained brick-built outbuildings, which would naturally be ideal for a variety of uses and may provide further development opportunities, subject to the appropriate planning consents.

Daughter Louise, who lived here in her twenties, describes The Manor House as “an amazing property for hosting parties and family get-togethers”.

She adds: “I had my wedding here with a marquee on the lawn and 250 guests – it was a truly memorable day in a magical setting.”

Surrounding area
The village of Sibsey, which is just a 10-minute drive from Boston, is a quiet rural neighbourhood with a friendly community and good access to main roads.

Surrounded by farmland, there are good schools nearby and the village hall is a thriving hub for the community, with a choice of pubs, family friendly eateries and a useful local convenience store.

There are also visitor attractions nearby, such as the historic 19th-century Grade I-listed Sibsey Trader Windmill, which is one of the few working windmills in the country and a popular tourist attraction
With so much to offer, The Manor House is an ideal choice for buyers in search of a handsome rural property to enjoy as an exceptional family home.
