The Manor Suite Apartment

The Manor Suite is a light and spacious, self-contained first floor apartment in the manor house. The apartment is approached through the impressive ground level, gothic arch main front entrance (no steps). The arch is decorated with an interesting, carved dog-tooth design. The outer double doors are some 1320 mm (52") wide whilst the inner door is 1090 mm (43")wide. From the spacious entrance hall with high ceiling and unusual skylight, a wide, double-banister, dog-leg staircase with seventeen steps topped with a small balustrade, leads off to the apartment. Going through a separate lockable entrance door, the apartment is spread over the first floor level and the rooms connected by a corridor with one step along its length. It is characterised by high ceilings and wide doors in the master bedroom, sitting room and kitchen.

The large, bay-windowed sitting room is comfortably furnished with two high quality three-seater settees, one winged-back armchair, an attractive period sandstone fireplace with 'real flame' gas fire, oak sideboard, stereo radio/cd player and digital TV, DVD and video players. There is a selection of reading books, magazines and brochures of local attractions. (Please note that the interior lights are on in the rooms shown below as the photographs were taken without the aid of a flash camera and so they appear darker than normal).
