Most handsome listed Grade II Georgian manor house in a glorious elevated rural position with views in the sought after Piddle Valle. DescriptionPlush Manor is situated in a uniquely beautiful place, surrounded by chalk downs with walks in all directions, ancient trees, spectacular views and embedded in nature. It was the home of a much admired pianist and a peaceful haven for their three children. Musicians, writers and thinkers came and went, a Music festival was created and many of the then young participants cited Plush as a place of inspiration. Musicians and concerts, readings and convivial encounters were shared with the many guests and visitors who were drawn to the house.Plush Manor is thought to have been built in the late 18th century, and resides in a commanding position above the bucolic village of Plush, with wonderful views in a southerly direction down a beautiful and secluded valley that has changed little in centuries.Originally a Georgian era rectory, two symmetrical side extensions were added to the Manor in the 19th century to form the generously proportioned building that meets the eye today. The property has handsome, rendered elevations under a slate roof and classical proportions, with a central doorway with elliptical head and fanlight, sheltered by a portico with a flat roof and moulded entablature supported on two Tuscan columns. The main southerly elevation is symmetrical and consists of five bays, the three centre bays being recessed and flanked by projecting wings with three-sided, two storey bay windows.Inside are fine period features, with the central hallway and adjacent room throw into one with the removal of the original partition, to form a generous and welcoming space.

From here there is access to a paddock and also one of the finest views at the Manor, as the valley drops away, rising sharply beyond that in the distance are the chalk hills that make this valley so magical.To the front of the house a fine Yew hedge wraps around a level lawn, dissected by a path that leads to the front door. Dropping away and wrapping round from the south east to north east is the main lawn flanked by borders and some fine mature Beech trees; the hill rising dramatically as a backdrop. On the eastern flank of the house, access from the kitchen and drawing room is a secluded terrace with old flag stones, the walls awash with climbing roses and with a covered outside area for dining if required. From here steps and an old flint wall lead up to compartments within the garden, enclosed by hedging and providing areas for growing vegetables and colourful borders. A rear drive to the lane provides access beyond which is a public footpath and the fabulous walking opportunities in and around the village. To the north east is the hard tennis court, screened by mature hedging and a fine old church resides beyond that.
