West Hill Manor Barn
West Hill Manor Barn has been finished to an exceptional standard by the current owners, spanning almost 6,500 sq ft of living space. At the centre of the barn is an impressive drawing room with a Clearview multi-fuel wood burner, beautiful wooden floors, and a built-in bar area, which would lend itself to a fantastic party room if the Manor is
constructed as it also benefits from a second kitchen.
The kitchen/family room is the hub of the house with dramatic westerly views, the hand-built kitchen is at one end with a substantial breakfast bar breaking the room up, seating for up to 10 people and sofas at the far end with a Jetmaster multi fuel wood burner on the back wall. The kitchen has doors out on to a wonderful, raised terrace looking out over the properties land and beyond. On the opposite side of the ground floor is the sitting room, office, gym and snug along with three WCs.
The master suite is on the ground floor, benefiting from a vaulted ceiling, a private westerly terrace, a dressing room and a bathroom. Upstairs there are four further bedrooms, all with en suites, and one has a dressing room.
The two lodges have been constructed of brick under a slate roof and mirror each other in terms of accommodation, with a spacious one-bedroom flat on the first floor. Below Flat 1 is a triple garage to service parking for the main house, and below Flat 2 is a single garage and workshop with a downstairs boot room for the flat above.
West Hill Manor offers a rare and unique opportunity to build a new manor house surrounded by 120 acres with exceptional views out over Northamptonshire countryside. The current owners have obtained planning permission to build up to 15,000 sq ft of living space with two gate lodges which have been constructed and are being used as staff accommodation.
In addition, the vendor has obtained approval ref 2024/3093/NMA from West Northamptonshire Council, for a basement of 1807 sq ft beneath the central section of the proposed house, which the vendor had planned to provide a plant room to house equipment for ground source heating with boreholes to provide a sustainable and very inexpensive heat source to supply the new house and three existing dwellings, but which could also be available for other uses.
Please refer to architects drawing, watercolour and floorplans to understand the impressive scale that has been achieved.
Outbuildings
Attached to West Hill Manor Barn is a large double car port and directly opposite there is a sizeable storage barn comprising three large garages with electric roller shutters doors (please see plan opposite), a further open plan barn area, ideal for equipment, further cars or to be converted into stables.
At the end of the back driveway is a range of barns which is currently utilised as a woodyard.
Garden and Grounds
The garden around West Hill Manor Barn is mainly made up of substantial lawns that roll away down the hill to the woodland areas.
The estate grounds have been maintained immaculately with managed woodland, fenced parkland, access roads constructed and strategically planted spinneys and hedges
to create a habitat for wildlife and wildflowers, the woodland floor are awash with bluebells and snowdrops at certain times of the year.
The private access roads have been designed to give you access to all parts of the estate and the grassland is currently grazed and topped by a local farmer.
