Sutton Bingham Manor

A manor was recorded on the site in the Domesday Book, where

a later Tudor building was burned down before being replaced

by the current house in 1608. Sutton Bingham Manor is a Grade

II listed Jacobean Manor House built of local cut stone with Ham

stone dressings under a predominantly clay tiled roof, which

has been extended sympathetically later in the Victorian and

Edwardian eras. The house has a light and airy feel as many of the

rooms have windows on two sides and also has great charm with

many original and attractive period features including oak panelling

and flooring and open fireplaces with cut stone surrounds in many

rooms.

On the ground floor the front door opens to the oak-panelled

entrance hall, which has a striking Arts and Crafts staircase rising

to the galleried landing and a door to the oak panelled drawing

room, which has French windows opening on to a terrace. A

stone-flagged passage from the hall leads to the cloakroom, dining

room and kitchen/breakfast room, which is fitted with a range of

painted timber units and is equipped with a 4 oven oil-fired AGA

(cream) and a range of electrical and gas-fired cooking appliances,

and has a door leading out on to a large, paved terrace. A further

door from the kitchen leads through to the sitting room, with a

door leading on through to the playroom, laundry room and rear

hall.

On the first floor is the large master bedroom, which has an en-

suite bath and shower room, and adjacent guest bedroom, which

also has an en-suite bathroom. A corridor leads off the landing

with doors off to five further bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Ancillary Accommodation, Gardens & GroundsThe house is approached up a sweeping gravelled drive to a large

parking area with a pair of semi-detached cottages to one side

(Gardeners Cottage (4 bedrooms) and Clove Cottage (1 bedroom) and

the garage block, which comprises two double garages, machinery

store, workshop and 3 storerooms. Beside the house is a former grain

store converted into a wine store, larder and first floor artist’s studio. The

house sits centrally within 5 acres (2.02 hectares) of delightful gardens

and grounds, with two ponds, a stone-lined stream and an enclosed

garden at the rear of the house, bounded by borders, stone walling

and a summer house. Beyond the formal garden is the former kitchen

garden, which overlooks Sutton Bingham Reservoir and is now laid to

lawn, with a “natural” stone-lined heated swimming pool to one side.
