Description

Introducing Rochfords, a historically significant Grade II* listed manor house located within approximately 2.25 acres of partially moated grounds. This residence offers an exceptional investment opportunity, suitable for those looking to restore a property steeped in character while enhancing its existing features. The property boasts a mix of recent renovations and areas that would benefit from further modernization, particularly the bathrooms and some living spaces. With an impressive blend of traditional Georgian architecture and modern living conveniences, this home includes an open-plan extension with underfloor heating and a spacious kitchen overlooking an orchard. Current owners have made thoughtful updates, including a new en-suite bathroom and tasteful interior redecorations. However, some bathrooms require refurbishment, presenting an ideal chance for investors or buyers interested in making custom improvements to align the property with contemporary standards. The expansive grounds enhance the potential for outdoor rejuvenation as well, appealing to both families seeking tranquility and developers interested in maximizing land use.
