Ramscote Manor Ramscote Manor is approached through double wrought iron electric gates up a rising gravel drive to a turning circle and courtyard at the front of the house. Constructed of Cotswold stone under a stone tile roof, the accommodation is predominantly arranged over two floors with some second floor ensuite bathrooms. The house has been refurbished by the current owners and is now beautifully presented both inside and out. The accommodation is light, well-proportioned and offers a high degree of flexibility depending on the needs of the owner.

Leading off the drawing room is the study and on the other side is a small reception room currently used as dining room although it has the potential to have a number of different uses including a separate snug/sitting room or additional study. Of particular note is the open-plan Kitchen/breakfast/living room; excellently equipped with a large four oven Aga, central preparation island including a sink, Miele oven and Gaggenau electric hob. Between the island and the French doors is a dining area and immediately off the kitchen are two sitting areas, one for TV and the other with an open stone fireplace. Accessed from the courtyard is the family hall; an extremely useful utility space with access to the secondary staircase, door straight into the kitchen and doors to the larder cupboard, WC, boiler room, store cupboard and gym/garden store. Also from the side hall, double doors give access to the large triple height family room that is full height into the pitch, wine store at one end and to the other an exposed stone wall, door to the Coach House and a staircase rises to a self-contained bedroom suite with mezzanine kitchenette and bathroom.
