OVERVIEW
Purchased by a property developer some years ago for their private occupation, planning has now been passed to divide the main grand house into two substantial country dwellings, each maintaining a high degree of privacy and their own paddocks. Lower Glazeley Manor has the larger land area of just under 4 acres with a natural pond, paddocks, stables and a small area of woodland. There is a large gated private driveway and planning on the stable block for conversion into annexe accommodation if desired. Planning ref: 25/01009/FUL
Internally, the property has been beautifully renovated retaining the original feature Loggia across the rear to provide some shade whilst enjoying the southerly aspect and views beyond. The accommodation has large spacious rooms with modern appointments.
