LISTING DETAILS
The Manor House is a successful Bed and Breakfas. The 7,000 square foot house is in very good condition and sits on five landscaped acres in the heart of the village of Norfolk. The main building was designed by the noted Washington, CT architect Ehrick Kensett Rossiter in 1898 for Charles Spofford, designer of London’s Underground and the son of Abraham Lincoln’s Librarian of Congress. An innkeeper's wing, architecturally sensitive to the original design, was added in 1996. The foyer and living room are paneled in native cherry wood, and the baronial public rooms have a comfortable flow and a great deal of original details including exquisite stained and leaded glass windows, native cherry wood paneling and carved moldings. The house has high ceilings, hardwood floors and multiple fireplaces. The main staircase leads to a landing with three Moorish arches,15 bedrooms and12 and a half baths. Quiet and private, yet central location. Well-cared for by the current owners, this historic house is currently a successful Bed and Breakfast which also has a Special Use Permit for expansion, but it could return to its original purpose as an elegant private residence.
