City & Country would like to invite you to Phase 2 launch at The Manor, Herringswell. The Launch takes place on the 7th & 8th of July from 11am to 4pm.
The latest set homes to be released showcase some of City & Country Group’s most extraordinary work to date and have much more than a hint of the Orient.
The Manor is a unique collection of buildings, the most unusual additions to this traditional and picturesque collection of buildings come from the period when it was used as an up market school for rich Japanese students. There is an traditional Japanese Temple with its large curling copper roof, an authentic Tea house complete with sliding screen doors, an Archery Court where former pupils honed their ancient Ninja skills to perfection, and some contemporary dormitories where they could rest and dream of old Japan will enduring the slings and arrows of an English education.
These dormitories, set within the historic Georgian walled garden, were two robust red brick buildings forming a courtyard, that have been cleverly transformed from dull functional buildings into 30 stylish contemporary apartments within two now elegant, pale coloured timber clad buildings with striking triangular dormers on the roof, clever cutaway balconies to the rear that still allow light to stream into the apartment below and large glass filled bays.
The Archery Court is a solitary detached home complete with its own private garden set behind a traditional Japanese black pan-tile capped wall adjacent to the ornate Japanese Garden. This home has glass sliding doors across almost the entire length of the ground floor of the property leading to a timber decked sun terrace. Upstairs there are three extremely spacious bedrooms with vaulted ceilings virtually floor to ceiling windows onto the garden and three luxurious bathrooms. The exterior combines tradition slate roof tiles with crisp pale render that has been subtly coloured to enhance the architectural details.
The Temple is without doubt the thrilling colossus of this Oriental ensemble. It has ingeniously been converted to just four enormous houses whilst still retaining its original Eastern appeal. Each of these homes has a large set of sliding doors that leading out onto wide, timber decked terraces that looks out over the peaceful Japanese pond, complete with its soothing waterfall, massive rocks, authentic stone bridge and graceful fish across to the Tea house and the alluring landscaped gardens beyond.
Set within 8.4 acres of glorious grounds, all the homes are breathe taking and most have views of the surrounding woods and fields. The tranquil setting belies the fact that The Manor is located just 15 minutes from the world famous horse racing town of Newmarket, and 25 minutes from the vibrant university city of Cambridge and just a 50 minute drive from Stansted London’s newest international airport.
Guide prices are for the Japanese Temple houses from £475,000 to £525,000; for The Courtyards from £260,000 to £315,000 and The Archery Court is guided at offers in excess of £535,000.
