Ivythorn Manor is an imposing medieval grade II* listed estate that stands as a testament to architectural history, set within approximately 15.77 acres of diverse gardens, pasture, and woodlands. Originally reconstructed in the 15th century with later enhancements in the early 20th century, this manor features traditional rubblestone construction under a pitched clay-tiled roof, showcasing elegant stone mullioned windows with metal casements. The interiors are rich with period charm, boasting substantial timber beams, decorative ceilings, and inglenook fireplaces. A highlight is the remarkable oak front door from the 16th century, adorned with the Abbot of Glastonbury's coat of arms.
Access to the ground floor rooms is via a spacious hallway that leads to well-proportioned living areas filled with natural light through dual aspect windows. The first floor hosts seven bedrooms including a principal suite that overlooks the south gardens along with multiple bathrooms—some ensuite—offering potential for enhancement or reconfiguration.
The property also includes ancillary accommodation through Ivythorn Cottage, which consists of three bedrooms and a living area but requires modern updates to maximize its utility. Additionally, a two-storey castellated tower offers unique opportunities as either a garden room or entertainment space near the swimming pool.
Surrounding Ivythorn Manor are meticulously designed gardens reflecting the undulating landscape, creating tranquil outdoor spaces to explore. These grounds offer formal cultivated areas as well as natural woodland settings that promise privacy and serenity.
This manor's location just outside Street town provides convenient access to local amenities while remaining in a semi-rural setting. The surrounding region is well-known for its prestigious schools and excellent transport links make it accessible for commuting or travel across the South West and to London—making this property not only an investment in history but also in quality living and potential rental income or restoration value.
