A COUNTRY house dating back to the 16th century, once home to the Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth, is up for sale.
The Manor House in Highlands Lane, Chiddingly, is a Grade II property, having been rebuilt around 1574 to create an imposing manor house for Sir John Jefferay, with a property sitting at the site for seven centuries.
The property has been restored and still features many original characteristics and layout, with many original stone mullioned windows with leaded glass, exposed timbers, oak floors and vaulted ceilings.
A covered porch with 18th century-style columns greets those entering the property, opening into one of the two a drawing room with an inglenook fireplace, hosting a wood-burning stove, oak bressummer and inset window. Opposite the drawing room, the property's sitting room boasts a Georgian-style fireplace and doors onto decking.
The kitchen/breakfast/family room has a range of shaker-style cupboards, mixed with modern appliances, and doors leading out to the property's gardens.
On the first floor are four of the property's six bedrooms, with the double aspect principal bedroom with bath at one end as well as an ensuite shower room.
An oak staircase leads to a guest bedroom suite, with a double aspect bedroom and dressing area, also with its own ensuite bathroom.
The country house also has an oak decked seating area, with granite steps leading to a gravelled terrace, an enclosed walled garden and a pond.
The property is available for £2.5 million from Jackston-Stops at 01444 484400.
