Description
SITUATION
Ackleton Manor stands in a beautiful position close to the heart of a sought after Shropshire village which is surrounded by miles of open, rolling countryside.
The village is handily situated for easy access to a number of major commercial centres with Wolverhampton, Telford and Birmingham all being within convenient travelling distance. Local facilities are available within the nearby villages of Albrighton and Pattingham together with the historic market town of Bridgnorth whilst there is a small convenience store located a few minutes drive away at Rudge Heath.
The area is well served by schooling in both sectors with Birchfield Preparatory school in Albrighton, St Dominic's High School for Girls in Brewood, Adams' Grammar School in Newport, The Wolverhampton Grammar School and Tettenhall College all being worthy of note.
Road communications are superb with the M54 at Tong / Albrighton facilitating access to the entire motorway infrastructure including the M6 Toll. Local rail services run from Telford station and mainline services run from Wolverhampton (London Euston approximately 1hour 50 minutes).
DESCRIPTION
Ackleton Manor is believed to date from 1725 and is a beautiful, period house with generous accommodation over three storeys. The house has a charming garden elevation and substantial works were carried out during the 1930s at which time the property was re-fronted creating a notable and elegant facade which is dominated by a pair of two storey bow windows. Subsequent owners have continued the works of refurbishment and the residence now provides beautifully appointed accommodation throughout with the current sellers having comprehensively overhauled all of the major services.
The house stands comfortably within its own land with the large garden boasting high degree of privacy. In addition to the beautifully laid out gardens there is a paddock and there is a total area of approximately 1.6 acres.
The residence provides extensive accommodation with all of the rooms being of fine proportions with a comfortable mix of both formal and informal reception rooms providing ample entertaining space and relaxed family areas. Internally the house is tastefully presented with appointments of quality and sympathetic dcor.
ACCOMMODATION
The entrance is via a heavy, panelled front door with pediment above and fluted pilasters and a porch with oak, parquet flooring. The reception hall has an old stone flagged floor, an old oak staircase rising to the upper storey accommodation and access to an extensive range of cellars. There is a fine drawing room with an open fireplace with carved surround and arched display recesses to either side, oak flooring and beamed ceiling and an impressive dining room with oak flooring and an open fireplace with oak surround and arched display recesses to either side and a beamed ceiling. There is a lovely sitting room with shuttered sash windows overlooking the gardens, a Clearview stove in a fireplace with marble hearth and carved wooden surround, oak floor and a beamed ceiling.
The bespoke breakfast kitchen by Martin Moore and Company has been superbly appointed with an extensive range of units with granite working surfaces, an oil fired Aga, a Coalbrookdale open fireplace, a large larder with slate shelf and a door to the laundry. There is a conservatory style side porch with gothic, arched windows, exposed sandstone base, a door to the side courtyard and cloakroom beyond.
The wide staircase leads to a half landing with a corridor with parquet flooring leading to the study and a stunning, vaulted garden room with painted trusses, Clearview stove within an exposed brick fireplace with stone hearth and windows overlooking the gardens and French doors leading to a semi circular wrought iron balcony. The principal landing leads to the master bedroom suite with a decorative fireplace, wardrobe and shower en-suite with a Vernon Tutbury suite, a further two double bedrooms, both with wardrobes and decorative fireplaces and a large bathroom with a superbly appointed Vernon Tutbury suite.
The upper floor benefits from three large bedrooms and a smaller seventh bedroom and a further bathroom, again with a Vernon Tutbury suite.
GARDEN AND GROUNDS
Ackleton Manor stands behind a front garden with wrought iron entrance gates between old brick pilliars with stone finials and a central path leading to the front door. There is an extensive gravelled driveway to the side with three garages, two which have remote controlled doors and with storage area above. There is a range of timber framed black and white stables with three loose boxes and stairs to a hayloft above together with a range of garden outbuildings including a gun and boot room, garden store, fuel store and potting shed.
The prinicipal gardens are particularly delightful with extensive lawns, well stocked borders, cobbled terracing and old brick herringbone path, clipped boxed hedges and fine matured surrounding shrubberies, rhododendrons together with formal rose beds and borders with a profusion of David Austin Roses and a majestic 250 year old Oak Tree with a sunken, English wild garden behind.
