The Manor House is a wonderful family home that exudes character and charm. It offers substantial accommodation and also benefits from a separate 1-bedroom annexe and two paddocks, making it an ideal property for those interested in equestrian pursuits.
Believed to date back to the 1800s, this property was once The Manor House for the small hamlet of Dolberrow. Its historical roots are evident in many original features, such as deep recessed windows, exposed beams, wooden flooring throughout the ground floor, and traditional latched doors together with in the grounds a cave and a limestone kiln. Beautifully presented by the current owners, they have preserved the character and appeal of the house whilst blending it with the comforts of modern living.
Set in a secluded location on the edge of Churchill village, the property benefits from all the village's amenities while offering direct access to bridleways leading to Dolebury Hillfort, a gem within the local Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The Manor House is approached via a secure gate, with gravelled parking for multiple cars immediately in front. There is also access to the stabling and, to the left of the property, the separate annexe.
A welcoming front door opens into a spacious entrance hall, which includes a practical downstairs cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. To the left, the dining room is a charming space with deep recessed windows and attractive built-in bookshelves. This room opens to the magnificent kitchen/breakfast room, which features a beamed ceiling. The recently fitted kitchen, in a natural sage colour, is complemented by dark worktops and a black 3-oven gas AGA. It also includes an integrated double oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and a wine fridge. A large central island provides ample space for food preparation, with built-in wine storage and high stool seating.

Outside
The grounds and gardens of The Manor House extend to approximately 1.5 acres. Surrounding the house are several landscaped areas, including a peaceful pond and dining terraces that take in the magnificent views.
There are two paddocks extending from the property, which share a stable block of over 500 sq. ft., divided into three separate areas. To the rear of the land is direct access to a bridleway which leads to hundreds of acres of the Mendip Hills which offer spectacular footpaths and a network of biking trails.
There is parking in front of the house for several cars, with additional parking available in front of the stables.
Annexe
Another highlight of The Manor House is the independently accessed one bedroom annexe. Comprising of a large open plan kitchen/reception room which is beautifully finished with a modern kitchen, a double bedroom and a practical wet room it is ideal for a dependant relative especially as it has been designed with flat access. Alternatively, it would make a great space for a teenager or subject to any necessary consents could provide an income.
