    Description

    The Manor House, Fenstanton – A Home of Distinction and History

    Steeped in heritage and situated in the oldest part of Fenstanton, The Manor House is an extraordinary Grade II* Listed residence, once home to the renowned landscape architect Lancelot “Capability” Brown. Overlooking Chapel Green and the United Reformed Church, this handsome 17th-century home combines architectural grandeur with modern liveability, offering a unique opportunity to own a significant piece of English history.

    Behind its symmetrical façade with striking Dutch gables and traditional sash windows lies a beautifully restored interior brimming with character. From the moment you step through the hand-carved, double-planked front door, it’s clear this is a home unlike any other. The heart of the house is a bespoke Plain English shaker-style kitchen, complete with Aga and adjoining family room featuring an inglenook fireplace and wood burner—a warm and welcoming setting for everyday life. Further reception spaces include a formal sitting room, a study with bespoke cabinetry and concealed storage, and a stunning oak-framed orangery that floods with light and offers panoramic garden views.

    The first floor hosts the principal bedroom with en suite, two further doubles, a stylish shower room, and a charming staircase leading from the rear bedroom to the family room, adding flexibility for guests or older children. The top floor houses the fourth bedroom with loft access, ideal as a quiet retreat.

    Beyond the main house, a characterful converted barn provides versatile space for a home office, annexe or studio. It includes a vaulted main room, kitchenette, WC, and ladder access to a loft room, making it ideal for multigenerational living or working from home in style.

    Set within 0.45 acres, the gardens are a masterpiece of mature planting and thoughtful design, with hidden paths, sculpted hedging, fruit trees, and a central lawn. With strong links to Capability Brown himself, this outside space offers both beauty and tranquillity in equal measure. A walled courtyard to the side of the property provides parking for multiple vehicles behind wooden gates, while the home remains tucked away in a peaceful yet highly convenient village setting.
