Originally a modest Georgian farmhouse, Garmelow Manor was extended in the Victorian era and was more recently the family home of Arnold Machin, OBE, RA. Machin was, amongst other things, the sculptor widely acclaimed for his ‘Queen’s head’ which appears on British stamps. The portrait of the Queen is the most reproduced portrait of all time. This handsome Georgian house is approached via a private drive and enjoys an excellent degree of privacy from the lane. The Manor house retains many period features including decorative ceiling roses and cornicing, sash windows, retaining the shutters in many cases, and open fireplaces. The accommodation is well proportioned with the principal reception rooms off a central reception hall and corridor. The drawing room boasts excellent natural light via a sash bay window and has views over the gardens and lake. The dining room and library flank the hall, each with wonderful fireplaces. To the rear of the house lies the kitchen, which features an Aga, and a range of fitted units. Beyond lies an inner lobby leading to the back stairs, the utility/WC, a boot room and a sitting room. Stairs descend to the cellars, within which, there is a well. The first floor accommodation is accessed principally via a fabulous oak staircase with the master bedroom enjoying dual aspect windows and a bathroom and dressing room opposite. There are three further double bedrooms on the first floor, some featuring oak boarded floors and original fireplaces. These remaining bedrooms are served by a second bathroom. The oak staircase continues to the second floor landing, off which there are two further double bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom. Off a small half landing on the first floor is a self contained flat including a kitchenette with dining and sitting area. There are also two double bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms. A spur off the main drive leads to the secondary driveway with a three bay open fronted garage and studio. Double gates are adjacent and lead into the delightful rear courtyard, which provides a fantastic range of traditional brick and slate outbuildings, which are currently used as two studios, the most impressive of which has an attached conservatory overlooking the lake. Adjacent to this are two further barns used as a gallery and museum. In addition a small grotto with water feature connects to the conservatory on the south west elevation. To the north west of the courtyard are two drift barns, whilst to the east there are numerous garages and stables with the section closest to the main house is used as a gardener’s cottage providing two bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms (one en suite) and an open plan living space. There is undoubtedly further scope for conversion or adaptation of the outbuildings, subject to any necessary planning consent. The gardens are a particular feature of Garmelow Manor and lie to the west of the house. There are largely laid to lawn with mature trees including Holly, Beech and Hawthorn. The lawn extends to a lake approximately 0.71 of an acre (0.28 ha.) with a pathway following the circumference. Behind the courtyard are more formal gardens, which create a pleasant retreat, and border the lake. Included are mature yew hedging and floral and herbaceous borders with lawned terraces and a most impressive waterfall and terrace lying adjacent to the boathouse, with a summerhouse over. The land predominantly lies to the west and currently provides two fields and a paddock, the paddock having gated access off the secondary driveway. There is mixed woodland forming part of the boundary and providing a windbreak and conservation area.
